What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the safe, controlled use of medication to help patients relax throughout their dental procedure. Commonly recommended for oral surgeries such as wisdom tooth extractions, sedation dentistry can also be highly beneficial for patients with a low tolerance for discomfort, strong gag reflexes, or those undergoing multiple procedures in a single visit.
At Beelman Dental, we offer the following sedation options for your comfort:
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your dental appointment. This form of sedation produces a mild to moderate calming effect, resulting in the patient feeling deeply relaxed, drowsy, and maybe even drifting into a light sleep. Dr. Beelman carefully selects the appropriate medication and dosage based on the patient's health history, procedure type, and personal preferences, to ensure optimal safety and relaxation.
Laughing Gas Sedation
Ideal for patients experiencing mild anxiety or for children requiring a little extra reassurance, laughing gas is a gentle, inhaled sedative administered through a soft, comfortable breathing mask.
Laughing gas is a colorless, odorless gas that induces a calming, euphoric sensation while allowing patients to remain awake, alert, and able to follow instructions throughout their visit. The effects of laughing gas wear off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing the patient to safely resume their daily activities after their appointment.
