Sedation

Sedation

Have you ever taken advantage of our sedation dentistry services? It’s a great way to make a dental procedure feel like a well-deserved rest or even a mini vacation!  Here at Washington Square Dental, we provide two different types of sedation.  Both are highly effective in common cases of dental phobia. 

Nitrous oxide sedation is probably the one most patients are already most familiar with.  It’s widely referred to as laughing gas because of the euphoric effect that’s experienced upon inhalation.  It’s safe, easy to administer, and enables you to totally relax during your procedure, even as you remain conscious and able to communicate.  It’s also a very mild form of sedation that’s easy to emerge from.  In most cases you’ll be able to drive, return to work, class and other activates after your procedure with nitrous oxide sedation.

Anxiolysis sedation is less familiar though just as effective as nitrous oxide.  Instead of breathing a gas, this light sedative comes in the form of a simple pill.  As the effect of the Anxiolysis sets in, you’ll feel completely relaxed and comfortable, while remaining conscious.  This form of sedation will also allow you to continue on with your day following your procedure.

For more information on the safe and effective sedation services we provide along with our gentle and advanced dental care, please visit our website or call us directly.  Dr. Azimi, Dr. Dow and I look forward to answering your questions and seeing you for next smile care appointment.

To happy, healthy and beautiful smiles,
