Types of Sedation Dentistry Methods

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

This is a mild sedative and the lightest form of dental sedation. You’ll breathe in the gas through a mask placed over your nose. It helps you relax, but you’ll stay awake and able to communicate. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, so you can drive yourself home after the appointment.

Oral Sedatives

These are medications taken orally (usually in pill form) before your appointment. They provide a moderate level of sedation – you’ll feel drowsy and relaxed but still awake. Oral sedatives are perfect for patients with moderate anxiety.

IV Sedation dentistry

This type involves medication delivered through a vein, allowing it to work more quickly. The level of sedation can be adjusted throughout the procedure, and you’ll likely have little memory of the treatment after it’s done. You’ll need someone to drive you home afterward.

General Anesthesia

This is the deepest form of sedation, where you’re completely unconscious. It’s typically used for extensive dental work or for patients with severe dental phobia. Recovery takes longer, and you’ll definitely need a ride home.
