Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is generally recommended for patients with moderate dental phobia as well as those who aren’t able to receive nitrous oxide sedation. It involves the patient taking a small sedative pill before their appointment, so by the time they’re seated, the effects have started to kick in. Patients remain totally conscious and responsive to verbal commands, but it’s known to cause some level of drowsiness, and ride accommodations will be needed.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Often referred to as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is perhaps the most common and accessible form of sedation dentistry. The gas itself is colorless and odorless, and it’s administered through a soft nasal mask with a mixture of oxygen. It instills pleasant feelings of warmth and euphoria. It’s perfect for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety since it’s so easy to administer and has no lingering or ill side effects.
