Sedation Dentistry in North Salt Lake, UT
Sedation dentistry gives Dr. Bates another option for ensuring that his patients have a comfortable experience.
Nitrous Oxide for Gentle Relaxation (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a short-term type of dental sedation that leaves no drowsy side effects. You inhale nitrous through a small breathing mask, and it produces pleasant, calming sensations and a feeling of comfort and well-being. Nitrous oxide effects last only as long as we administer it, and you can safely drive yourself home from your appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
With oral sedation, Dr. Bates prescribes a sedative for you to take before your appointment, so you need a driver to get you safely to and from our dental office. You will feel very relaxed and drowsy, and some patients even doze off during their procedure. Because the sedative stays in your bloodstream for several hours, we recommend that you plan to take the rest of your day off.
