What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective solution designed to help patients overcome dental anxiety or discomfort during dental procedures. By using calming techniques like oral sedation or nitrous oxide (laughing gas), we ensure that your visit is both painless and stress-free. At Spring Valley Dental Care, we specialize in creating a welcoming and anxiety-free environment for every patient.
Types of Sedation Offered at Spring Valley Dental Care:
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you feel calm and relaxed. While you remain conscious and responsive, this method minimizes anxiety and makes the experience much more pleasant. Oral sedation is ideal for those who need extra support during longer procedures or for individuals with heightened dental fears.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative inhaled through a mask during your procedure. It works quickly to ease anxiety while keeping you fully awake and responsive. Nitrous oxide is an excellent option for patients with mild dental phobias or those who prefer a lighter sedation method.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Sedation?
You might benefit from sedation dentistry if you:
- Experience dental anxiety or phobia.
- Have sensitive teeth or a strong gag reflex.
- Need multiple or complex procedures completed in a single visit.
- Find it difficult to sit still for extended periods.
Our team will work with you to determine the best sedation option for your specific needs, ensuring a stress-free experience.

How to Prepare for Your Sedation Dentistry Appointment:

We’ll guide you every step of the way to ensure you feel confident and prepared.
