Nitrous oxide is given through a mask that goes over your nose. Most patients describe it as a tingling and floating sensation. You remain awake during the procedure, and the effects wear off quickly.
Needleless Oral Sedation medications reduce anxiety and have a calming effect. They are usually taken about an hour before your dental procedure and will make you feel relaxed and sometimes drowsy.
Sedation Dentistry is a safe, effective option for many patients. It can help with:
Oral conscious sedation takes longer to take effect (about an hour) and lasts longer, while nitrous oxide sedation begins and ends almost immediately with the starting and stopping of the gas.
If you choose nitrous oxide, you can usually resume normal activities shortly after the procedure. If you opt for oral sedation, you will need more time to recover and require transportation assistance.
Nitrous oxide is often preferred for minor procedures or for those with mild anxiety. Oral sedation is better suited for longer, more complex procedures or patients with moderate to severe dental phobia.
