Sedation Dentistry

IDEAL FOR NERVOUS PATIENTS WITH FEAR & ANXIETY

More than half the people we treat experience some level of Dental Anxiety. Their discomfort pales in comparison to those who suffer from Dental Phobia, a very real and common affliction. Fear and anxiety shouldn’t be holding you back from paying a visit to your dentist and helping your teeth get the attention and care they need. Here at D@W we want to help you empower yourself so you can overcome these hurdles while giving your oral health all that it deserves.

Types of Sedation

  • Nitrous Oxide

    Nitrous Oxide

    Nitrous oxide is an odourless gas that is used in combination with pure oxygen to quickly relieve dentistry-related anxiety. As you inhale nitrous oxide, your feelings of anxiety dissolve quickly and be replaced by a warm, gentle and euphoric feeling. Patients have described the experience as peacefully floating into a dreamlike state. For the apprehensive child or adult, nitrous oxide can be the key to an enjoyable, comfortable and anxiety-free dental experience.

    WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF NITROUS OXIDE?

    • It is fast acting. Within minutes of administration, your stress will be transformed into a sensation of soothing relaxation.

    • Your depth of sedation can be adjusted easily. The depth of nitrous oxide sedation can be adjusted to quickly achieve your optimal level of relaxation.

    • Recovery time is short. In just 3 to 5 minutes after the flow of nitrous is stopped (100% oxygen flush), the effects completely disappear from your system. In fact, nitrous oxide is the only form of sedation that has no lasting after-effects that impair your ability to drive. You will simply feel refreshed and ready to go about your daily activities as if nothing happened.
