Don't Let Fear Keep You from a Healthy Smile

For millions of people, dental anxiety is a significant barrier to receiving the essential care needed to maintain a healthy smile. At Meadowbrook Dental Care, we understand and respect these feelings. Our Mineola dental team is committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and judgment-free environment where your peace of mind is our top priority. Sedation dentistry is a modern, safe, and effective solution that allows even the most anxious patients to receive treatment in a state of complete relaxation.

Sedation dentistry can be a life-changing option for patients who experience:

High levels of dental fear or phobia
A history of traumatic dental experiences
Difficulty getting numb with local anesthetic
A very sensitive gag reflex
A need for long or complex dental procedures

Our Sedation Options in Mineola:

Nitrous Oxide ("Laughing Gas"): A mild and safe sedative that you inhale through a small, comfortable nose mask. It induces a state of deep calm and relaxation throughout your procedure. The effects wear off within minutes after the mask is removed, allowing you to drive yourself home.
Oral Conscious Sedation: For a deeper level of relaxation, we offer a prescribed sedative pill to be taken before your appointment. You will remain conscious and able to respond, but you will be so relaxed that you will likely have little to no memory of the treatment itself. You will need a companion to drive you to and from this appointment.

Your Sedation Dentistry Questions Answered

Is sedation dentistry safe? Yes. When administered by trained and certified professionals like our dental team, sedation is extremely safe. We conduct a thorough review of your medical history before the procedure and use state-of-the-art equipment to continuously monitor your vital signs to ensure your complete safety at all times.
Will I be completely asleep during the procedure? No. With the methods we use (nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation), you will not be asleep. You will be in a state of deep relaxation but will remain conscious, able to breathe on your own, and able to communicate with our team.
How will I feel after the sedation? With nitrous oxide, the effects disappear almost immediately, and you will feel completely normal. With oral sedation, you will feel groggy and relaxed for several hours and should plan to rest for the remainder of the day.
Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry? Most healthy adults who experience significant dental anxiety are excellent candidates. We will perform a comprehensive health history review and consultation to determine the safest and most effective sedation option for your specific needs.
