Sedation Dentistry Treatments

Sedation dentistry refers to sedative medications used during or prior to general, restorative, or cosmetic dental procedures to relieve stress, anxiety, and discomfort.

The Importance of Dental Sedation

Many individuals put off critical dental care due to dental anxiety and fear. This leaves their oral health vulnerable to the development of decay, gum disease, and other unfavorable complications. To mitigate extensive and costly restorative procedures while protecting your teeth, gums, and oral cavity, overcome dental anxiety with sedation dentistry.

When to Opt for Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry plays many different roles. Our dentists recommend dental sedation for the following:

  • Patients with generalized, chronic, or social anxiety
  • Patients with a phobia or fear of the dentist’s office
  • Patients undergoing complex or painful procedures
  • Patients with sensitive teeth or low pain tolerance
  • Patients with trouble sitting still

Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry

With a commitment to ensuring a comfortable experience for all our patients, KZoo Family Dental offers nitrous oxide sedation. Nitrous oxide is a light sedative inhaled through a comfortable mask to help patients feel more relaxed. Nitrous oxide, also known as NO2, is a common form of sedation dentistry for kids and adults. This light form of sedation lasts less than 10 minutes, enabling patients to drive themselves home after treatment.

Candidates for Sedation Dentistry

At KZoo Family Dental, we offer dental sedation to accommodate varying patient needs and preferences. However, some health conditions may disqualify your eligibility for NO2 sedation dentistry. To verify your candidacy, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our team prior to your procedure.

Optimum Safety & Comfort

The safety and comfort of our patients is paramount. To ensure you feel confident and at ease from beginning to end, we use only industry-certified, proven-safe dental sedation options. We apply sedative amounts in proportion to your procedure and specific health needs to relieve your stress and anxiety while keeping side effects to a minimum.

Compassionate Care Every Step of the Way

At KZoo Family Dental, we recognize that visits to the dentist can be anxiety-inducing. That's why we prioritize compassionate care every step of the way. From the moment you arrive, our warm and welcoming team prioritizes personalized guidance to ensure you feel confident, informed, and safe during your time with us.
