SEDATION DENTISTRY TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR ORAL HEALTH GOALS
If you have a difficult time following through with your dental appointments because you have fear or anxiety about going to the dentist, talk to Dr. Vurugonda about sedation dentistry. Dr. Vurugonda may recommend nitrous oxide or oral sedation as part of your treatment plan. We can make your dental visits relaxed and comfortable with sedation dentistry services.
NITROUS OXIDE
This is one of the most popular forms of sedation used in dental practices today. The process involves inhaling a colorless and odorless gas, which helps you feel relaxed and may even create a state of euphoria. You will return to normal when the gas is stopped and can drive yourself home after your visit.
ORAL SEDATION
Patients with mild to moderate levels of dental anxiety can benefit from oral sedation. This involves taking a sedative pill that helps you feel very calm and relaxed before and during your procedure. You will need someone to drive you home after your visit, as you will still be fairly drowsy and relaxed. We only recommend oral sedation for adults at the doctors discretion.
