Many people experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist. This can make it difficult to undergo necessary dental procedures. For those with severe dental anxiety, sedation dentistry may be an option.
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help you relax during your dental treatment. There are different types of sedation, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation. The type of sedation that is right for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.
