Your pulse races at the thought of sitting in the dental chair, and feelings of dread prevent you from scheduling regular dentist\u2019s appointments. Sound familiar? Dental fear and anxiety is a real problem \u2014 and the good news is, we\u2019ve got help! At Dr. Bruce E. Carter\u2019s<\/a> office, you can find the sedation dentistry in Lawrenceville you need to overcome your fear and anxiety\u2026 and relax through your next dental treatment. Keep reading to learn more about our two options, nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation.<\/p>\n\n

Sedation Dentistry Provides Comfortable Care<\/h2>\n

OK, so you\u2019ve probably never associated the words \u201crelax\u201d and \u201cdentist,\u201d but that\u2019s exactly what you get with sedation dentistry \u2014 relaxing dental care. And whether you suffer from severe anxiety or just a little more fear than you\u2019d like, we\u2019ve got a safe, effective solution for you.<\/p>\n\n

Nitrous Oxide<\/h3>\n

Known more popularly as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is administered using a facemask you breathe through during your dental treatment. Its mild sedative effects will relax you enough so that you\u2019ll find you\u2019re not so bothered by what\u2019s going on around you anymore \u2014 but you\u2019ll be totally awake and conscious throughout. When a dental procedure like a filling or root canal is necessary, nitrous oxide is combined with a local anaesthetic to ensure you feel no pain at the treatment site.<\/p>\n

One of the great benefits of nitrous oxide is that its effects wear off as soon as the treatment is complete and your mask is removed. That means you can resume your day quickly, without the groggy side-effects of other anaesthetics.<\/p>\n\n

Oral Conscious Sedation<\/h3>\n

Because oral conscious sedation provides a deeper relaxation, it is ideal for patients who suffer from more severe dental fear or anxiety. Those who wish to undergo longer or several procedures in one dental visit can also benefit from this option.<\/p>\n

When you choose oral conscious sedation for your next treatment, Dr. Carter will prescribe a sedative pill for you to take about an hour before your appointment. Valium is a popular choice. By the time you\u2019re settling into the dental chair, its effects will have taken over \u2014 and you\u2019ll be even more comfortable with a local anaesthetic applied to the treatment site.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re still awake with oral conscious sedation (it\u2019s in the name, after all), but you\u2019re completely relaxed and removed from what\u2019s going on around you. In fact, most patients report not remembering anything at all from their procedure \u2014 a wonderful benefit for anyone dealing with dental fear and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n
