Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation involves taking a pill at a certain time before your procedure begins. Once it takes effect, you will start to feel drowsy, and you’ll find that it’s much easier to relax in the dental chair. In many cases, patients describe their appointment flying by very quickly and being over before they know it. Keep in mind, though, that you will have to rely on a friend or family member to take you home after your appointment since the effects of sedation will need some time to completely wear off.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide can put you in a euphoric state in a matter of minutes. You will breathe in the sedative via a small nasal mask. Patients with milder dental fears can often benefit from nitrous oxide sedation, finding that it goes a long way toward helping them stay calm during their dental appointments. One advantage of nitrous oxide is that once you stop breathing it in, its effects wear off in a matter of minutes. This means you can go right back to your normal daily activities once your appointment is complete.
