Sedation Options
Many patients are treated at 6 Day Dental & Orthodontics with just a shot to numb the area being worked on. However, some patients have special needs because of a previous bad experience at the dentist or for extensive treatment. We offer several sedation options, depending on your level of dental anxiety or fear of treatment.
- Nitrous Oxide
This relaxing gas is breathed in and helps you to relax during treatment. It is very safe and leaves your system within five minutes of turning it off at the end of the appointment. You don't need anyone to drive you home or take any time off from your work or school schedule. This option works best for most of our patients. It is offered free of charge, and is used by a high percentage of patients. - Oral Sedation
For the next level of sedation, a pill is given about an hour before treatment begins. It is for people where nitrous oxide just isn't sufficient. This medication along with N20 gas gets you more sleepy and relaxed. Your sedated state of mind lets you respond better to dental treatment. With you being calm and comfortable, we can work fast and efficiently and can more easily obtain an excellent result. This option does require you to bring someone to drive you and time off for the remainder of the day to recover.
In addition, we always offer stereo headphones to help take your mind off the sounds and such associated with dental treatment. You can enjoy your favorite CD or radio station while we work.
Your dental health is our main concern. We will do whatever it takes to make you comfortable. We appreciate the opportunity to be a partner with you in establishing your good, long-term dental health.
