What is laughing gas and what does it do?
Laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, is a mild sedative commonly used in dental procedures to help patients relax. It is administered through a mask that fits over your nose, allowing you to inhale the gas. The effects include a calming sensation, reduced anxiety, and a general feeling of well-being, making it easier to undergo dental treatments. The effects wear off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing you to drive yourself home after the procedure.

Is sedation dentistry safe?
Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective way to reduce dental anxiety and discomfort, provided it is administered by trained professionals. At East Franklin Dentistry, our dentists are experienced in sedation techniques and follow strict guidelines to ensure safety. We closely monitor your vital signs and comfort throughout the procedure, adjusting sedation levels as needed. Sedation dentistry has been widely used for many years and is recognized as a safe option for most patients, including children and adults.

What is IV sedation dentistry?
IV sedation dentistry involves administering a sedative through a vein, allowing it to work more quickly and efficiently. This type of sedation is ideal for more invasive procedures or for patients with severe dental anxiety. Under IV sedation, patients remain conscious but in a deep state of relaxation, often remembering little to nothing of the procedure afterward. Our sedation experts at East Franklin Dentistry are highly skilled in IV sedation, ensuring a safe and serene experience for those who need it.
