Sedation Dentistry at Bright Oak Dental

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation/Sleep dentistry is to help patients with dental anxiety feel more calm and relaxed during dental procedures. Patients technically remain awake but feel varying levels of calmness, insensitivity to pain, and short-term amnesia (forgetfulness).

Nitrous Oxide -Laughing Gas

Nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) is where a nose piece is placed and odorless gas is inhaled throughout the appointment. The patient feels the affects within minutes and after the procedure is over, oxygen is inhaled and the gas leaves your system quickly so you can drive after the procedure.
