About Our Sedation Dentistry in Peoria
When it comes to treating dental anxiety with sedation dentistry, there are various options available depending upon the patient’s level of fear.
Laughing Gas Sedation Dentistry
Laughing gas sedation is wonderful for patients who experience mild to moderate dental anxiety and is administered using a tiny face mask which is placed over the nose. Laughing gas provides a relaxed experience while the patient can communicate and follow directions. Following treatment, laughing gas sedation quickly wears off, allowing the patient to continue their daily activities.
Oral Sedation Dentistry
For those with more moderate to severe anxiety, oral sedation dentistry may be recommended. With oral sedation dentistry, medication is prescribed prior to treatment (typically an anti-anxiety medication) and is taken prior to arriving. Although oral sedation allows the patient to communicate and follow directions, it does not wear off following treatment, and it is required the patient has a ride home.
IV Sedation Dentistry
For those with severe dental anxiety, IV sedation dentistry may be recommended. IV sedation is administered intravenously, and the effects can be almost instant. Many patients report no memory of their treatment whatsoever and the effects do not quickly wear off. IV sedation dentistry also requires the patient to have a ride following their dental care.
