Oral Sedation

Comfort Comes First

Comfort means peace of mind and body. If you prefer an alternative to nitrous oxide (laughing gas), Dr. Greenfield may suggest oral sedation, which involves ingesting a small oral sedative to make you feel groggy and comfortable. We can combine oral sedation with nitrous oxide to enhance the effects. For patients with a sensitive gag reflex, moderate anxiety, or physical discomfort when seated in the dental chair, oral sedation provides an excellent option.

What to Expect

Patients who choose oral sedation dentistry should plan to have a friend drive them to our office and pick them up from their dental appointments. After the visit, it’s a good idea to stay home and relax until the medication subsides. Many people have overcome dental phobia and reclaimed optimal oral health, thanks to sedation dentistry.
