Dental Sedation Brampton
Sedation Dentistry Services in Brampton, Ontario
Dental anxiety is common, and itβs perfectly normal to feel nervous before a dental appointment. At our Brampton dental office, we prioritize your comfort and offer various sedation options to help make your visit stress-free and relaxing. We understand that each patient is different, so we tailor our approach to meet your individual needs.
Sedation dentistry helps you feel more at ease during procedures, but it's important to note that sedation methods do not eliminate pain. Local anesthetics are still required for pain relief.
Types of Sedation Dentistry We Offer
1. Laughing Gas (Nitrous Oxide)
Laughing gas is a mild and effective way to reduce anxiety during dental procedures. It's administered through a small mask placed over your nose. The odorless gas, mixed with oxygen, helps you feel calm and relaxed within minutes. Since the level of sedation can be adjusted during your treatment, it offers a flexible solution for most patients.
The effects of laughing gas wear off quickly once the mask is removed, meaning you can safely leave the appointment without needing an escort.
2. Oral Sedation
For a deeper level of relaxation, we offer oral sedation. Dr. Manny Mangat will prescribe medication for you to take before your appointment, helping reduce anxiety. Various medications are available, and Dr. Mangat will discuss the best option for your specific needs.
Oral sedation not only eases anxiety but also reduces memory of the procedure. This can make your experience more pleasant, and it often allows us to complete treatments faster and with fewer visits. Unlike laughing gas, oral sedation lasts longer, so you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
At our office, we also offer the option to combine oral sedation with laughing gas for an even deeper sense of relaxation, all while closely monitoring your vital signs for safety.
