What Is N2O and Oral Sedation?
N2O, or Nitrous Oxide sedation, is a sedative that is inhaled by the patient through a comfortable mask. Nitrous Oxide is a lighter sedation form that lasts less than 10 minutes. Patients can drive themselves home after N2O administration.
Oral sedation comes in pill form. Dentists recommend oral sedation for complex or large-scale procedures where pain is imminent. Oral sedation can last up to six hours, with side effects up to 24 hours after administration. We recommend you have someone drive you home and take off work after oral sedation.
Who Is Dental Sedation Recommended For?
Some health conditions may prevent you from receiving sedatives during dental care, so we recommend consulting with us before your procedure to determine your sedation candidacy. We strive to keep you safe, comfortable and confident from beginning to end. The sedatives used are industry-certified and totally safe for use.
