Sedation Dentistry in Sedalia
At Tiger Family Dental, we understand that not everyone feels at ease in the dental chair.
If you experience dental anxiety, have a strong gag reflex, or feel nervous about upcoming treatments, our Sedation Dentistry in Sedalia can help you receive the care you need with the comfort that inspires confidence.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help you feel calm, relaxed, and at ease during dental treatments. It’s an excellent solution if you experience dental anxiety, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, fear of needles or dental instruments, difficulty sitting still for long periods, or a history of negative dental experiences. Sedation dentistry is a safe, proven way to make your dental treatment easier and more comfortable.
Types of Sedation Available at Tiger Family Dental
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
This light sedative is inhaled through a small mask placed over your nose. It produces a calming effect within minutes, helping you feel relaxed while staying fully conscious. Nitrous oxide is ideal if you experience mild to moderate anxiety. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, so you can drive yourself home and resume your normal routine right away.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your dental appointment. This form of sedation creates a deeper sense of calm, helping you stay relaxed while remaining awake and responsive throughout the procedure. It’s a great option if you have moderate anxiety or are undergoing longer treatments. You will need someone to drive you home afterward, as the effects take time to wear off.
IV Sedation (if applicable)
IV sedation is delivered directly into your bloodstream and offers a deeper level of relaxation, making it ideal for lengthy or more complex procedures. You’ll remain in a semi-conscious, sleep-like state during the treatment and will likely have little or no memory of the procedure afterward. Our trained team will monitor you closely to ensure safety and comfort. Recovery time is longer, and transportation to and from your appointment will be required.
