At Ashton Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we understand that some patients can become worried or anxious about dental treatment. To ensure that all our patients have a comfortable, stress-free experience, we offer nitrous oxide and sedation dentistry options tailored to individual needs and procedures.
Safe, Effective Nitrous Oxide and Dental Sedation Services
Sedation dentistry is a safe, effective way to help those who may experience anxiety during dental appointments or who need to undergo a longer or more complex procedure. Our highly qualified team takes into account the individual needs of each patient to provide the appropriate level of care at each appointment.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that’s inhaled through a mask placed over the nose. It helps patients relax during their dental treatment, remaining fully awake and responsive. Nitrous oxide’s effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, making it a safe and effective option for reducing dental anxiety and discomfort.
Oral Conscious Sedation and IV Sedation Dentistry
For patients who experience higher levels of anxiety or for those undergoing more complex dental procedures, we offer additional sedation dentistry options. These methods provide a deeper level of sedation, ensuring that patients are comfortable and anxiety-free throughout their treatment. Our team carefully evaluates each patient’s health history and treatment needs to recommend the most appropriate sedation option.
A Safe and Controlled Environment
The safety and well-being of our patients are our top priorities. All sedation methods are administered by our highly trained and experienced dental professionals and patients are monitored closely throughout every moment of the procedure. We adhere to strict safety protocols and guidelines, ensuring that sedation dentistry is administered effectively and safely.
Ensuring Comfort for Every Patient
We believe that a patient’s worry or anxiety should never stand in the way of receiving necessary dental care. Nitrous oxide and sedation dentistry are part of our commitment to making dental visits a positive experience for everyone. By offering these options, we aim to alleviate any concerns and ensure that our patients receive the care they need. We want every one of our patients to think of the dentist’s office as a place where they can feel comfortable, relaxed, and safe.
Consultation and Communication
Before administering any form of sedation, we conduct a thorough consultation with you to understand the patient’s medical history, discuss any anxieties, and explain the sedation process. We encourage questions and strive to ensure that patients and caregivers are fully informed and comfortable with the chosen sedation method.
At Ashton Family Dentistry & Orthodontics, we’re dedicated to providing a compassionate, patient-focused approach to dental care. Nitrous oxide and sedation dentistry are just two of the many ways we tailor our services to meet the needs of each patient. If you often exhibit anxiety during dental appointments or you’re interested in learning more about sedation dentistry options, our team is here to guide you and ensure a comfortable and anxiety-free dental experience.
