Overcome Dental Anxiety with Sedation Dentistry
If fear or anxiety keeps you from getting the dental care you need, sedation dentistry can help you feel relaxed and comfortable during your appointments. At Meadowbrook Dental Care, we understand that dental anxiety is common, and we’re committed to making your experience as stress-free as possible.
Our sedation options allow you to receive necessary treatments without fear, discomfort, or worry. From routine cleanings to complex procedures, sedation dentistry helps patients overcome anxiety and maintain optimal oral health confidently.
Sedation Options We Offer
We provide a range of sedation dentistry options to match your needs and level of anxiety, including:
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) – A mild sedative inhaled through a mask that helps you relax while staying awake and aware. Effects wear off quickly after treatment so you can resume normal activities.
Oral Conscious Sedation – A prescription medication taken before your appointment to help you feel calm and deeply relaxed while remaining responsive.
IV Sedation (if offered) – Administered intravenously for deeper relaxation, ideal for complex procedures or severe anxiety, with continuous monitoring throughout your treatment.
During your consultation, we will discuss your health history, medications, and concerns to determine the safest and most effective sedation option for you.
FAQs – Sedation Dentistry
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes. Sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by trained professionals. We monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your comfort and safety.
Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?
With oral and nitrous oxide sedation, you will remain awake but deeply relaxed. IV sedation may cause you to drift in and out of sleep, but you can still respond to instructions.
How long does it take for sedation to wear off?
Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes. Oral sedation may require several hours for full recovery, so you’ll need someone to drive you home. IV sedation also requires recovery time and an escort home.
Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?
Patients with dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, strong gag reflexes, difficulty sitting still, or those needing extensive treatment are ideal candidates for sedation dentistry.
