Dental Sedation
Sedation dentistry isn’t only for those who are nervous about dental procedures. Sedation dentistry helps patients who have difficulty controlling their gag reflex, experience pain because of sensitive teeth, or do not respond well to numbing medications. Sedation dentistry also allows our Massachusetts dentists to perform several dental procedures in just one appointment. We offer two one of sedation dentistry at our dental offices near Waltham and Boston: nitrous oxide.
Sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide (typically known as “laughing gas”) is a very safe way of making you feel calm and relaxed for your dental procedure. Nitrous oxide is not addictive, is easily inhaled, and leaves the body very quickly. You may actually leave the office more relaxed than when you arrived for sedation dentistry!
Sedation dentistry is very safe. Our Boston and Waltham doctors use machines to monitor your heart rate and other vital signs. We cover you with a blanket so you stay warm and cozy. We use dental devices to hold your mouth open during procedures so your mind is free to drift to anything it wants to.
