Sedation dentistry or anxiety free dentistry is becoming more popular today. The use of medications, nitrous oxide to calm the patients nerves and helps to make them unaware of the procedures being done and calms the nerves to allow regular dental visits.

Anxiety free dentistry also gives you the option of you being semi conscious during your dental procedure. During your initial visit with your sedation dentist, you will be explained what will be done during your procedure.

You will then be given some medication you will take on the morning of your dental procedure. You will be awake but drowsy for your appointment. You will require someone to drive you to and from your appointment.

You may be given a local anesthetic injection to prevent any pain during your procedure. Depending on the procedure being done will depend on the medication used as some will provide pain control for a short time or for up to 12 hours.
