What is Sedation Dentistry?
-
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): A mild sedative inhaled under a mask that relaxes you without putting you to sleep.
- Moderate Conscious sedation: Taken as a pill before treatment, this method produces more relaxation while still allowing you to stay awake.
- General anesthesia: Utilized for only certain conditions, this technique places patients in a coma-like state where they feel nothing while undergoing procedure.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
- Reducing fear and anxiety: Many patients avoid the dentist due to paralyzing fear. Sedation dentistry makes them relax. Therefore, they're more relaxed receiving the required treatment without resistance.
- Easier for patients: Sedation eliminates discomfort, so even lengthy procedures are tolerable. Patients enjoy it being stress-free.
- Facilitating extended procedures without discomfort: Sedation enables more treatment in a single visit. This reduces the number of visits required and minimizes both time and anxiety.
- Improving overall dental care experience: Eliminating fear and discomfort enables patients to be more open to coming back for more care. This supports better long-term oral care and patient confidence in their dental care professionals.
Who is eligible for Sedation Dentistry?
- Severely anxious patients: Those with a fear of visiting the dentist can now be treated in comfort.

What is The Process of Sedation Dentistry at Wisconsin Dental Wellness?
- Pre-treatment consultation: Our team discusses your medical history, anxiety level, and treatment needs to determine the best sedation method.
- Administration of sedation: Based on your comfort level, sedation is delivered via inhalation, oral medication, IV, or general anesthesia.
