How We Help Ease Dental Anxiety
Dental sedation refers to a variety of techniques used to help patients feel more comfortable during dental procedures. When you visit Big Bay Point Dentistry, your dentist can work with you to determine if dental sedation is right for you.
Our team is committed to helping our patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their dental appointments. In addition to offering nitrous oxide as dental sedation, we will work at your pace, take breaks whenever you need them, and provide calm reassurance along the way.
If you have anxiety when it comes to the dentist, you're not alone. Speak to our dental team, and we will do everything we can to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your dental appointments.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is inhaled through the mouth and nose. The medication works to calm patients while allowing them to remain awake and able to communicate. It also lessens anxiety, increases the pain threshold, reduces the gag reflex, and makes time seem to pass more quickly.
