Sedation Dentistry for Dental Care
At Van Dyken Family Dentistry, we prioritize the comfort of our patients. We offer cutting-edge sedation dentistry techniques to ensure that you feel at ease during your treatments. Regardless of the severity of your dental fear or anxiety, we have a variety of options to help you feel more relaxed.
- Nitrous Oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a pleasant-smelling gas that is gently inhaled through a nosepiece. It induces relaxation while allowing patients to remain awake during their procedure. It is suitable for individuals of all ages and its effects wear off within minutes.
- Oral Conscious Sedation is another option for sedation, which involves taking a pill before the dental procedure. This method is ideal for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety.
