If the sight of a dentist’s chair, the smell of sterilized equipment, and the sound of dental tools make you break out in a sweat; it may be time to consider sedation dentistry.

Dental anxiety is a common problem people deal with. But you can get the oral healthcare you need despite your fear of the dentist.

Southshore Dental offers sedation dentistry to minimize stress and create a more calming environment. If you’re nervous about your next visit, call us to inquire about sedation dentistry in Trenton.

Sedation Dentistry Services

Sedation dentistry provides patients with a variety of options for reducing their anxiety during dental care. Our team works with each patient to determine the right level of sedation based on their unique needs and comfort level. Some of the sedation options we offer include:

Oral Sedation - Oral sedation is a common option for people who fear the dentist. Before your appointment, you will take a pill from your dentist. You will be escorted by someone else to the office and feel completely relaxed and pain-free during your visit. The effects of the sedative will last for a few hours after your appointment is over, so someone will need to bring you home.
Nitrous Oxide - Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative that most people tolerate well. It can be used during any type of dental procedure. It’s easily administered through a nasal mask that is placed over your nose. In minutes, you will begin breathing in a mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide, which will put you at ease, allowing you to stay completely relaxed throughout your appointment.
IV Sedation - For patients with extreme dental anxiety or more extensive procedures, we may be able to provide IV sedation. We place the IV on the back of the hand and deliver medication to your bloodstream. We monitor your vitals throughout the process to ensure you're safe. An escort must bring you home since the effects can last up to 24 hours.
