Benefits of Dental Sedation
Some of the most common reasons we recommend dental sedation in Lubbock include:
-
Appointments that are longer or more complicated
-
A patient is unable to sit for extended periods of time
-
Tooth hypersensitivity
-
Previous negative dental office experiences
-
Dental anxiety/phobia ranging from mild to severe
-
An extremely sensitive gag reflex
-
Extensive dental health because of postponing care
If you are unsure about requesting sedation during your treatment or require additional information, our Lubbock sedation dentistry staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Most people find that using a sedative allows them to get the care they need; you may have wished you had requested it sooner!
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a gentle and quick-acting sedative. We place a soft nosepiece over your nose, and you will breathe in a mixture of pure oxygen and nitrous oxide, which will create a calm and sometimes tingling sensation throughout your body. You'll be fully conscious and able to communicate with our team, but you'll feel less anxious and more comfortable.
