Facts About Sedation Dentistry

Fact: Sedation dentistry is safe.

During sedation dentistry, laughing gas is typically given to the patient before the procedure starts. Once the procedure is over, the gas leaves your system just as fast as it enters. During the procedure you will be constantly monitored by your dentist and other dental professionals. There is virtually no additional risk with the use of laughing gas as opposed to without. If you ever need more or less gas during the procedure, it is easily adjusted.

Fact: There are different levels of sedation dentistry.

Some patients prefer to be minimally sedated rather than be sedated to the point that you would barely remember the procedure. If that is the case, you can elect to be given just enough sedation to remain completely awake, yet relaxed. You would be conscious throughout your procedure and the laughing gas would be given to you in a very mild dose so that you would feel no pain and be relaxed. For those who need further sedation, we also provide IV sedation here at Millennium Smiles.
