No Judgment. No Fear. Complete Comfort.

Sedation Dentistry in San Pablo

It is common and perfectly normal to experience some degree of apprehension or anxiety before receiving dental treatment.

For some patients, these feelings can produce unpleasant effects such as heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, an upset stomach, or difficulty sleeping before an appointment.

Many highly apprehensive patients avoid dental care for years until their oral health concerns become severe enough to require emergency treatment.

Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain a healthy mouth as efficiently and comfortably as possible through sedation dentistry in San Pablo.

Personalized Options for Your Comfort

Dental Sedation Options

Oral Conscious Sedation

Patients interested in oral conscious sedation receive oral medication that promotes a state of deep relaxation.

Although oral sedatives do not cause sleep, they can dull the senses. Many patients remember little about the discomfort, smells, or sounds associated with treatment.

A dose of medication is typically taken before the appointment and may be supplemented during the procedure when appropriate. Oral conscious sedation can help treatment time pass more quickly and comfortably.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, commonly called laughing gas, is delivered through a comfortable nose hood and administered throughout the procedure.

This mild sedative can promote a sense of well-being, relieve anxiety, and reduce discomfort. Some patients may experience temporary tingling or numbness.

Nitrous oxide has few side effects and has been used safely in dentistry for many years.
