Explore our sedation dentistry options

Nitrous Oxide Sedation

For patients with mild anxiety, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) offers a safe and convenient solution. This inhaled analgesic quickly induces a sense of calm, allowing you to relax during your treatment.

  • Safe for most patients, including children.
  • Rapid onset and quick recovery time.
  • You can drive home after your appointment.

Oral Sedation

If you need more substantial anxiety relief, oral sedation might be right for you. We’ll review your medical history and prescribe medication to help you relax.

  • Induces a dreamy, relaxed state.
  • May cause little to no memory of the procedure.
  • Requires someone to drive you to and from the appointment.

IV Sedation

For those with significant dental fears or lengthy procedures, IV sedation provides deep relaxation. We monitor and adjust the sedation level throughout your treatment.

  • Ideal for patients with severe anxiety.
  • Suitable for long or complex procedures.
  • Requires transportation to and from the appointment.

Is sedation dentistry right for you?

Sedation dentistry can be beneficial for a variety of situations, including:

  • Patients with dental anxiety or phobia.
  • Those undergoing lengthy or complex procedures.
  • Patients with a strong gag reflex.
  • Individuals with medical conditions that make it difficult to sit still.

At Roots Dental, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our experienced team will guide you through each step of your sedation dentistry experience, ensuring you feel at ease and well-cared-for.
