Our dentists and team are committed to giving you the most comfortable experience possible when you visit Taylor Dental & Implant Center. We provide nitrous oxide sedation to help manage anxiety so that you can receive the care you need without stress, fear, or worry.
Managing Dental Anxiety
Visiting the dentist is not anyone’s favorite thing to do. Dr. Stephen M. Taylor, Dr. Jim O. Taylor, Dr. William Reed, and our team understand that many people experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist, and we make every effort to relieve these fears and worries so that you and your family can feel comfortable and receive treatment with ease.
Dental anxiety and fear manifest in a variety of ways, from mild feelings of worry and stress to specific and debilitating fears about upcoming procedures. If you suffer from dental anxiety or fear, please speak with our dentists and team. We are happy to work with you to create strategies and take precautions that will help you feel more comfortable.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide is a mild sedative that works quickly to make patients feel calm and at ease during dental treatment. It is suitable for patients of all ages. Before providing this type of sedation, our dentists will meet with you to discuss your treatment, medical history, and potential fears to determine if nitrous oxide is right for you.
When you receive nitrous oxide, our dentists will fit you with a small nose mask. As you breathe normally and inhale through the mask, the nitrous oxide will help you feel calmer and more relaxed. You may experience a “floating” or euphoric sensation. After your treatment is complete, we will remove the nose mask, and the effects of the gas will wear off quickly, allowing you to safely and legally drive yourself home.
Benefits Of Nitrous Oxide Sedation
One of the key benefits of nitrous oxide sedation is its ability to be adjusted in real time during your procedure. This flexibility allows our dental team to ensure you are receiving the optimal level of comfort at all times. Unlike other forms of sedation, nitrous oxide does not leave you feeling groggy or disoriented after your appointment. This means you can resume your normal activities almost immediately, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. Our team prioritizes your safety and comfort, and nitrous oxide sedation is a testament to our commitment to providing a stress-free dental experience.
Ensuring Your Comfort & Safety
At Taylor Dental & Implant Center, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our dentists and team are highly trained in the administration of nitrous oxide, ensuring a safe and effective sedation experience. Before beginning any treatment, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history and discuss any concerns you may have. This meticulous approach allows us to tailor the sedation experience to meet your individual needs and ensure the highest standards of safety and care.
