TODAY'S DENTISTRY CAN BE DONE MORE COMFORTABLY

With sedation you can overcome your fears and enjoy good dental health.

New and safe oral sedation techniques may have many benefits for you.  Your comfort is our goal.   Our Rochester family & cosmetic dental office offers two types of sedation dentistry techniques, Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) and Oral Sedation.  

INHALATION DENTISTRY (Nitrous Oxide / Laughing Gas)

The most commonly employed technique used in conscious sedation dentistry is inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen (N20-02) (Laughing Gas).  Our goal is to eliminate dental anxiety, making you more comfortable while we are able to effectively complete the planned dental care.

Nitrous inhalation sedation is highly effective in the management of mild to moderate levels of dental anxiety.  It also is an excellent technique in persons who are extreme gaggers; Nitrous usually eliminates or minimizes gagging in most patients.

ORAL SEDATION

You will be prescribed a pill to take one hour prior to your scheduled dental visit in our Rochester dental office. It is imperative that you have someone drive you to and from your dental appointment. 

You should not operate a motor vehicle for several hours after receiving Oral Conscious Sedation.
