DENTAL SEDATION

At South Walker Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful for some patients. Whether due to dental anxiety, fear of discomfort, or sensitivity during treatment, we want to make your experience as calm and comfortable as possible. That’s why we offer safe and effective dental sedation options designed to help you relax while receiving the care you need.

With sedation dentistry, you can undergo your treatment in a stress-free environment, knowing you’re in gentle and supportive hands.

• Reduces anxiety and fear during dental procedures
• Minimizes discomfort and sensitivity
• Allows for more treatment to be completed in a single visit
• Helps patients with a strong gag reflex or difficulty sitting still

By easing your mind and body, sedation dentistry makes it easier to maintain your oral health without the added stress.

Sedation with Gas (Nitrous Oxide):

Also known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is a mild sedative inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. It helps you feel calm and relaxed throughout your procedure, and the effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed. This means you can safely drive yourself home after your appointment.

Oral Sedation:

For patients with moderate anxiety or those undergoing longer treatments, oral sedation is an excellent option. Taken in pill form before your appointment, it helps you feel deeply relaxed and at ease. While you remain awake and responsive, you may feel drowsy and have little memory of the procedure. Because the effects last longer, you’ll need someone to drive you home afterward.

Sedation dentistry is a great solution for patients who avoid dental visits due to fear, past negative experiences, or medical conditions that make treatment difficult. During your consultation, our team will review your health history, discuss your concerns, and help you choose the right sedation option for your needs.

At South Walker Dental, your comfort and safety always come first.
