Whether you’re nervous about a simple teeth cleaning, or a more complex procedure like a CEREC crown, Dr. Graves is here to help.
Nitrous Oxide – The Best Choice For Minor Cases Of Dental Anxiety
Nitrous is the most commonly administered form of sedation dentistry. It is also known as “laughing gas.” This harmless gas is used both for adults and children. It can help combat negative feelings, such as anxiety and helplessness, that are common among those who suffer from dental anxiety.
Nitrous oxide is usually administered through a mask that fits over your nose. This nasal mask allows the doctor to work on your smile without disrupting the flow of sedation. The effects of nitrous are easily reversed, so Dr. Graves can quickly bring you back to an alert state.
The reason that nitrous oxide is so commonly used is that it has no significant side-effects. While oral sedation and IV sedation leave patients groggy and unable to drive themselves home after their appointments, nitrous oxide can be used on any patient. Patients will feel alert before they leave the dentist’s office.
If you have a fear of the dentist, or you’re nervous about an upcoming procedure, nitrous from Dr. Graves in Austin may be right for you. Dr. Graves is an experienced dentist in Anderson Mill, and you can trust her to give you kind and compassionate treatment.
Get The Treatment You Need – Without The Fear!
Laughing gas is usually enough for most anxious patients. However, if you have a more severe case of dental anxiety, we can discuss other options such as oral sedation. Oral sedation may be appropriate as it affects consciousness more significantly. You may be drowsy at the office, forget the procedure, or even fall asleep while receiving treatment.
Regardless of how severe your dental anxiety may be, we can help. And because we offer nitrous for free to every patient, there’s no reason for you to skip your appointment due to fear of the dentist.
