Most dentists today have three options for sedative delivery for their patients: oral, IV, and inhalation. All three solutions can be tailored to meet your unique needs before your operation and effectively reduce dental anxiety. Sedation dentistry in Pompano Beach has come a long way to help patients deal with their dental problems.
Laughing gas, often known as nitrous oxide, is the most popular treatment for mild to moderate dental anxiety and dental operations. This mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen is colorless, odorless, and does not irritate the mouth or nose. You will get a relaxing sensation that spreads over your entire body after a few minutes of breathing in the gas.
You will be utterly at ease but still, be aware of everything around you. You can continue your typical activities right away because recovery is swift.
Oral sedation is a very popular method for dental sedation. It is simple and doesn’t involve using needles. To ensure that you are completely relaxed and prepared to start your dental treatment at our office, you will be given a prescription medication to take around an hour before your appointment.
Oral sedation, typically in the form of anti-anxiety tablets, can help you feel less anxious about your appointment. You will require a ride to your appointment because you won’t be able to drive due to the pill’s sedative effects.
In some instances of IV sedation, patients are given a little pill to take an hour or so before the procedure, as previously mentioned. The dentist that will manage your operation will ensure that they have complete control over your oral care; one doctor places the IV, gives the medicine, and keeps an eye on your level of sedation while the other handles your dental surgery.
