The Dental Sedation Process

Relax through any dental procedure. Nitrous sedation, or “laughing gas” is a highly popular form of sedation dentistry that allows patients to relax after simply breathing in the sedative medicine. As they continue to relax they remain conscious but may gentle movements as their teeth are treated. Once the procedure is complete a friend or relative can safely bring you home for easy recovery. Many patients will not remember a majority of the process but may have a pleasant recollection of having had a gentle and relaxing experience at the dentist.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (661) 832-1877

    Are You Asleep During Sedation Dentistry?

    What Is Sedation Dentistry? Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s sometimes referred to as “sleep dentistry,” although that’s not entirely accurate. Patients are usually awake with the exception of those who are under general anesthesia.

    Do You Feel Pain With Sedation Dentistry?

    You do not feel pain with sedation dentistry. The more convincing answer: Dentists use a combination of sedation and anesthetic to keep you relaxed and pain-free throughout your procedure. Many patients leave the appointment with little to no memory of their treatment and feel good afterward.

    Can I Drive Myself If I Have Dental Sedation?

    No we do not advise you drive yourself. We advise that you have a ride arranged.

    What Sedation Is Used for Dentistry?

    The most common types of sedation dentistry include nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation and intravenous (IV) sedation.

    How Long Does Dental Sedation Take To Wear Off?

    A good rule of thumb is to allow a full 24 hours after the procedure for the full effects of dental sedation to wear off.

    Is Oral Sedation The Same As "Laughing Gas"?

    Oral sedation is administered through medication. The patient will take a pill before the start of their appointment. It is a stronger sedative than laughing gas and the patient will not be able to drive to or from their appointment, requiring them to arrange for rides.
