Feeling nervous about an upcoming dental procedure? At Hardin Family Dental, our dental team ensures every patient fully understands their treatment, taking the time to walk you through each step to make you feel comfortable and at ease. However, if you’re particularly anxious about your visit, we offer sedation dentistry to help you relax.
Sedation dentistry induces a state of relaxation or unconsciousness, allowing our dentist to perform treatments efficiently and with minimal discomfort to the patient. The sedation methods we use are safe, thoroughly tested, and certified for dental procedures. Depending on your needs, sedation can be administered in different forms.
Sedation Dentistry Options
- IV Sedation: Administered directly into your bloodstream, this method allows for precise control over the sedation level during the procedure.
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This sedative is inhaled through a mask placed over your nose, offering a calming effect. Once the gas is removed, the effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your day with ease.
For IV sedation, our board-certified anesthesiologist will administer and monitor the sedation throughout your visit, ensuring your safety and comfort.
If you have questions or concerns about sedation for your upcoming appointment, contact Hardin Family Dental. We’re here to ensure you have a relaxed and stress-free dental experience.
