Sedation Dentistry in Oakville, ON
Shore Side Dentistry is Helping You Feel Comfortable In The Dentist’s Chair With Sedation Dentistry
For some people a visit to the dentist leads to severe anxiety and high levels of anxiety since dental procedures can have this kind of effect to people. We understand that people become nervous and we have taken steps to ensure that patients feel comfortable and safe.
If dental fear is preventing you from coming in for your regular checkup or an issue that has been bothering you please speak to us about sedation dentistry. We offer a range of techniques that will help you relax so you can maintain the health of your teeth and gums without undue stress:
Nitrous Oxide:
Delivered though an inhaler, nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) is very effective at relieving anxiety.
IV Sedation:
A deep sense of calm and relaxation occurs with our conscious sedation techniques and oral sedatives.
Oral Sedation:
We can administer anti-anxiety medication for you to take before visiting the dentist.
Levels of Nitrous Sedation
There are three different levels of sedation that we do offer from mild to more moderate.
Firstly, the lightest sedation is with nitrous oxide and the patient can drive to the appointment and drive home.
Secondly, the next level of sedation is strictly with oral diazepam with different levels of the drug from mild to moderate. This requires a driver and monitoring systems.
Thirdly, we do oral moderate sedation to the point where the patient is almost asleep, which combines nitrous oxide/oral diazepam. This also requires the use of a driver and monitoring systems.
