Dental Sedation in Mansfield, TX
We understand that most patients have some degree of anxiety about visiting the dentist. Dr. Jung at Central Park Dental proudly offers multiple levels of dental sedation to ensure you are as comfortable as possible. If you are apprehensive about dental treatment, or if you simply want a more relaxing experience, dental sedation may be an excellent option for you.
Types of Dental Sedation
Sedation dentistry utilizes carefully administered medications to help patients relax during their dental procedures. Dr. Jung offers proven sedation options that you may benefit from, depending on your individual needs and comfort preferences.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the mildest and safest form of dental sedation available. Also known as laughing gas, this gentle sedative is inhaled through a comfortable nosepiece or mask along with oxygen. Because the effect is mild, you’ll feel relaxed and at ease while remaining fully aware of your surroundings. You’ll also be able to communicate with Dr. Jung throughout your treatment. Once Dr. Jung stops the flow and removes your nosepiece, the sedative wears off within minutes. As a result, you’re able to drive yourself home after your appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed oral medication prior to your dental treatment. The effects provide deeper relaxation than nitrous oxide, so by the time you arrive for your appointment, you’ll already feel very calm and comfortable. With oral sedation, you remain conscious and responsive, but you will feel significantly more relaxed throughout your procedure. Because the medication can take several hours to fully wear off, you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment. We also recommend planning to rest for the remainder of the day.
