Your Comfort is Our Priority – Dental Care with Sedation Options
At Parkside Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be an anxiety-inducing experience for some individuals. We believe that fear should never stand in the way of a healthy smile. That’s why Dr. Broesder and our compassionate team are here to offer a range of sedation options, ensuring that you receive the dental care you need with peace of mind.
Why Choose Us for Sedation Dentistry?
We take pride in our gentle and caring approach to dentistry. Many of our patients find our team’s friendly chairside manner alone helps them relax. However, we understand that everyone’s needs are different, and we’re pleased to offer the following sedation options:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nicknamed “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is among the mildest yet highly effective forms of dental sedation. It involves breathing an odorless gas through a comfortable mask before and during your appointment. Nitrous oxide induces a relaxed, pleasant sensation while allowing you to remain awake and communicate with your dentist if necessary. The best part? It wears off quickly, and you’ll return to your normal state within minutes.
- IV Conscious Sedation
For certain procedures like extractions and root canals, some patients may benefit from additional relaxation. Parkside Dental will soon offer IV sedation—a continuous flow of medication that provides a safe solution for patients who prefer not to remember any part of the procedure. Please note that patients receiving IV sedation will require a designated driver to take them home safely.
At Parkside Dental, your comfort, well-being, and oral health are our top priorities. We’re committed to making your dental experience as stress-free as possible, whether through our friendly team or our effective sedation options. We understand that dental anxiety is a common concern, but we’re here to help you overcome it.
Don’t let fear prevent you from achieving a beautiful, healthy smile. Get in touch with us today to schedule an appointment and discover how our sedation dentistry services can make your dental visits a breeze.
F.A.Qs
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s beneficial for those with dental anxiety, a low pain threshold, or who require extensive treatment.
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained professionals. We thoroughly review your medical history and monitor vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.
With nitrous oxide, you’ll remain fully conscious and able to communicate. IV conscious sedation induces a deeper relaxation, and while you’re still awake, you may have little to no memory of the procedure.
The effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities shortly after the procedure. IV sedation may take longer to wear off, so it’s advisable to have someone accompany you home.
Sedation is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or those undergoing lengthy procedures. A consultation will help determine the best option for you.
You can use sedation for virtually any dental procedure, from simple dental impressions to more complex treatments like extractions or root canals. No procedure is too big or too small for sedation, allowing for a more comfortable and stress-free dental experience.
