SEDATION

SEDATION

We believe that everyone deserves exceptional dental care in a warm and welcoming environment. The team at Dimmitt Dental is dedicated to ensuring your dental experience is comfortable and stress-free. But we also understand that dental anxiety and past experiences can be significant barriers when it comes to treating dental issues. That's why we offer safe in-house sedation dentistry to help you relax during your procedure.

Should I Request Dental Sedation?

Sedation dentistry enables you to feel more relaxed during your planned procedure. Not only does it help reduce anxiety and dental phobia, but sedation also lowers the sensitivity of hyperactive gag reflexes. You may also want to plan for sedation if you need multiple treatments or have oral surgery planned. 

At Dimmitt Dental, we offer two different types of sedation. The first is laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide. As you breathe in the gas, you'll experience a sense of relaxation within just a few minutes, easing any feelings of nervousness or discomfort. It’s also quickly reversible, allowing you to get right back to your normal activities. 


For patients who require a deeper level of sedation or have severe dental anxiety, Dr. Woods also offers oral conscious sedation. This method involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your appointment, and while you remain conscious, you may feel drowsy and less aware of the details of the procedure. Most people experience some level of amnesia after their oral sedation.
