At Hall Dental Group, we recognize that visiting the dentist can cause fear or anxiety for some patients. That's why we offer options for sedation dentistry in Cookeville, TN.
Nitrous oxide is a low level of sedation delivered as a breathable gas through an inhalation mask worn during a dental procedure.
Oral sedation uses medication taken one hour before your procedure to help you relax. This is a deeper level of sedation.
Understanding Oral Sedation
Patients who are undergoing multiple complex treatment procedures, have special needs, or have severe dental anxiety may benefit from choosing oral sedation.
The medication helps you feel deeply relaxed, almost as if you were sleeping, yet you remain responsive. The amnesic effects of the medication ensure that you have little to no memory of the procedure.
Patients using oral sedation will need to have transportation arranged to and from their dental appointment. They should also plan to take the remainder of the day off after their procedure, as the medication takes time to wear off.
