Oral Sedation
If you prefer an alternative to nitrous oxide (laughing gas), Dr. Greenfield may suggest oral sedation. This 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.
Patients who choose oral sedation dentistry should plan to have a friend drive them to and from their dental appointment. 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.
