Chino Sedation Dentistry
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) and Oral Sedation
Dentistry Has Never Been So Relaxing
If fear of the dentist has kept you from taking good care of your oral health, sedation dentistry could be the answer you've been looking for.
Sedation dentistry, also known as "sleep dentistry," can help you sleep through your appointment.
This treatment option can help:
- People with dental fears completely relax
- Turn multiple appointments into a single visit
- People who have difficulty getting numb
You simply take a little pill prior to treatment, helping you completely relax. Dr. Setiady's team monitors your vital signs constantly and you are never left alone.
You will be awake enough to respond to Dr. Setiady during treatment, but will essentially sleep through the entire appointment! You will probably have no memory of your treatment. Due to the wonderfully relaxing effects of the pill, you should have someone drive you to and from the appointment.
Sedation dentistry dramatically reduces the body's natural tendency to tense muscles while stressed, helping you to feel relaxed and at ease. Dental anesthetics are more effective while the body is relaxed, practically eliminating any concerns about discomfort during treatment. Your postoperative discomfort can be treated with simple, over-the-counter medications such as Aleve or Tylenol.
We also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for those who don't want sedation dentistry, but want to "take the edge off" their visit. Nitrous oxide is delivered in the office during treatment via a small mask over your nose. This treatment option completely relaxes you and lets you drift off. As soon as the gas is turned off, the effects fade away and you're back to your normal self within minutes.
