What types of sedation options are available?

At Janz Family Dental, we offer a range of sedation options to ensure you and your family feel comfortable and relaxed during your visit. The most common types of sedation include: Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) – a mild sedative inhaled through a mask, which makes you feel calm while keeping you fully awake. Oral Sedation – A simple pill taken before your appointment helps you feel more relaxed and at ease. IV Sedation – For a deeper level of relaxation, this sedation is administered through a vein, allowing you to be very relaxed and less aware of the procedure.

Under what circumstances might a patient be a candidate for sedation dentistry?

Sedation dentistry might be the right choice for you or your family if: You experience dental anxiety or fear. You have sensitive teeth or a low pain threshold. You need to undergo a longer or more complex procedure. You have difficulty sitting still for an extended period. You have a strong gag reflex that makes dental work challenging.

Sedation Dentistry in Edmonton

Sedation dentistry assists in calming patients, reducing their apprehension during procedures. The administered anesthetic minimizes patients’ alertness, promoting a state of ease and comfort. It can be applied across a spectrum of dental treatments, whether they are complex operations or straightforward teeth cleanings.

Sedation dentistry employs various types of anesthetics to induce a relaxed state in the patient. This lowers the patient’s awareness during dental procedures, enabling them to undergo treatments ranging from simple teeth cleaning to more invasive operations with reduced anxiety and discomfort.
