Dental anxiety is real, keeping many people from getting the care they need and deserve, but if you are fearful of going to the dentist, we can help! Our Long Beach dental office offers several types of sedation, so whether you have anxiety, special needs, or have to undergo a long dental procedure, we’ve got you covered.
Do You Offer Sedation Dentistry?
Yes! Here are the types of dental sedation you can choose from:
- Nitrous oxide — Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is mixed with oxygen and inhaled through a mask. It keeps you calm and wears off right away once the mask is removed.
- Oral sedation — For a deeper form of relaxation, we can prescribe a pill for you to take before you arrive for your appointment. You’ll need someone to drive you to and from our dental office.
- IV sedation — If you have severe dental anxiety, we can administer a sedative directly into your bloodstream through an IV. You’ll be monitored carefully during your procedure and go home to rest afterward.
