Sedation Dentistry in Burnaby
Sedation Dentistry
Many people experience anxiety when they visit the dentist. In some cases, this causes them to avoid seeking dental care, even in severe cases. Sedation dentistry helps us offer a more relaxed experience to patients who experience anxiety around dental visits, ensuring they receive the care they need to maintain their oral and overall health. If you or your child has dental anxiety, reach out to our Burnaby dental clinic for more information about sedation options.
IV Sedation Dentistry
Sedation can be delivered intravenously (through the veins). This form of sedation acts quickly but can take some time to wear off after the procedure is complete.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous oxide sedation is sometimes known as “laughing gas” and provides instant sedation after inhalation of the gas, with the effects wearing off quickly after the gas is removed.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedatives can be prescribed before an appointment, ensuring that a patient is relaxed leading up to the appointment and during their dental visit. It takes longer to wear off, so someone who receives oral sedation should arrange rides to and from the dental offices.
