Sedation Options

Calm Support For Different Needs

Sedation can help patients who feel anxious, have difficulty sitting still, need more complex treatment, or require extra support to complete necessary dental care safely and comfortably.

Mild

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide helps lessen anxiety and discomfort. It does not put patients to sleep, but creates light relaxation.

Moderate

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation uses carefully dosed medication to help patients feel calm and relaxed while remaining conscious during treatment.

Deep

General Anesthesia

For patients with extensive needs, fear, young age, or special health care needs, general anesthesia may be recommended in a specialized setting.

Mild Sedation

Nitrous Oxide

Laughing gas for light relaxation

Nitrous oxide is a colourless and virtually odourless gas used to help lessen pain and anxiety. It generally works well for patients who have some degree of cooperation.

Many patients report feeling happy, relaxed, or like they are “floating.” Nitrous oxide does not put patients to sleep, but helps increase comfort and tolerance for minimal procedures.

Oral Sedation

Carefully dosed support for anxious patients

Oral sedation is a supportive option to help patients feel calm and relaxed during dental treatment. It may be recommended for patients who are very anxious, have a hard time sitting still, or need more complex care.

Oral sedation is carefully dosed for each patient. It is conscious sedation, meaning the patient does not go fully to sleep.

General Anesthesia

For complex needs and extensive dental care

General anesthesia may be offered for patients who are much younger, fearful, have special health care needs, require extensive dental work, or have been unable to tolerate other sedation methods.

When recommended, treatment is completed with qualified anesthesia support in an appropriate setting so care can be completed safely and comfortably.
