Easing Your Dental Anxiety
Dental sedation refers to a variety of techniques used to help patients feel more comfortable during dental procedures. Whether you are anxious about going to the dentist, or you are about to undergo a long, complex procedure, our dentists can work with you to determine if dental sedation is a suitable option for you.
At Kingswood Dentistry, our staff and dentists are united in their commitment to make every patient as comfortable as possible, whatever the reason for their visit to our office. In addition to offering nitrous oxide sedation, we will work at your pace, take breaks when you need them, and provide calm reassurance throughout your treatment.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is inhaled through the mouth and nose. The medication has a calming effect on patients even though they remain awake and able to communicate. It also tends to lessen anxiety, increase pain threshold, reduce gag reflex, and make time seem to pass more quickly.
