Sedation
A Family Dental Clinic in Guelph
Don’t ignore your dental health because of fear. Sedation dentistry may help calm you and allow for important dental work to be done.
Laughing Gas
Nitrous oxide, often called “laughing gas,” is a gentle and effective form of sedation that helps you feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. Your dentist will explain how it works, including its benefits and any possible side effects. Because the level of sedation can be carefully adjusted, you will remain relaxed and conscious throughout the treatment while still feeling at ease.
Pill Sedation
In using oral medication, a mild sedative in the form of a pill is given to the patient that will provide a feeling of relaxation, reducing or eliminating the experience of any stress or pain. While this form of sedation may be the mildest, it has been found very effective for most minor procedures and is shown to be well-tolerated by many people.
