Sedation Options

We understand that for some patients, getting a root canal can be scary! If you feel anxious about your upcoming procedure, speak with your endodontist. We are here for you, and can tailor a plan to provide you with a comfortable and seamless experience! We offer the following sedation options in our office: 

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous Oxide has been the primary means of sedation in dentistry for many years, used as a mild sedative with no “hangover” effect. It works rapidly and helps you relax. It is safe, adjustable and reversible, allowing you to continue on with your day with no lingering effects. 

Oral Sedative Medications 

Our team offers oral sedative medications tailored to your needs to help you have a comfortable dental experience; your comfort is our priority. Effects of sedation can last for several hours beyond your appointment time, so it is important that you arrive and leave with a trusted companion. If you experience any dental fear, speak with us and we will tailor options to fulfill your needs!

Intravenous (IV) Sedation

We acknowledge that each patient’s experience is unique. Some individuals face specific needs and concerns, often stemming from profound anxiety. For these patients, we provide specialized care, including IV sedation with a trusted medical anesthesiologist. Your doctor will gladly discuss this option with you if necessary
