Dental Sedation
If you experience anxiety or stress when visiting the dentist, you are not alone. This anxiety, most often known as dentophobia, is extremely common. At Bay Dental Studio, we want our patients to feel comfortable and relaxed when they visit our practice for any procedure. Dental sedation in Double Bay offers a relaxing way to undergo dental treatments.
How Can I Relax?
In some cases, your dentist may prescribe some medication to help you relax. At Bay Dental Studio, we believe that one of the best forms of dental sedation in Double Bay or Elizabeth Bay can be provided by nitrous oxide, otherwise known as “laughing gas”.
What Does Nitrous Oxide Do?
Other benefits that patients experience during dental procedures with nitrous oxide include a reduced gag reflex and an increased endurance for longer treatment times. For patients who would rather not take sedatives, nitrous oxide offers a safer alternative.
Is the Gas Safe?
You will be able to drive after receiving nitrous oxide, although we recommend you wait 15-20 minutes after the treatment before doing so. A very small number of people who receive nitrous oxide may feel low levels of nausea. We do ask that you advise us of any previous reactions to nitrous oxide, and any pre-existing medical conditions before we administer the gas.
