We offer conscious oral dental sedation and laughing gas to help you relax

We understand that not everyone enjoys dental visits, and some people may have an outright fear of coming to the dental office. At Epic Dental Care we are well accustomed to treating patients with high dental anxiety. We offer various relaxation techniques, which range from something as simple as creating a comfortable and soothing environment, to nitrous oxide administration and oral sedation.

Nitrous oxide is also known as laughing gas, it has a sweet scent and is commonly used for minimal sedation to help relieve fear and dental anxiety. This gas is inhaled through a mask, it is fast acting and its effects dissipate immediately following removal of the nasal hood. Nitrous oxide can be used on its own or in addition to oral sedation.

Oral conscious dental sedation and nitrous oxide are a great option for those with high dental anxiety. This relaxation technique involves administration of prescription medication which will put your mind at ease and will help your body reach a comfortable state of relaxation.

Our doctor will give you some medicine for the night before and for the day of treatment to help you have a restful night of sleep and to have a worry-free experience during the procedure.

Make sure to bring a friend or a family member who can stay with you for the duration of treatment and to ensure you arrive at your home safety. 

Ask your doctor if sedation dentistry is right for you.
