Some patients may be apprehensive when undergoing dental treatment. Some patients may be so apprehensive that they may neglect their dental health because of their fears.  These patients should not feel the need to avoid dental treatment because treatments are available to control their apprehension.  Our office provides both nitrous oxide analgesia for mild to moderate apprehension. Nitrous oxide is analgesic gas that is administered in a measured device, which can help the patient relax in a safe and effective manner.

IV sedation or "twilight sleep" is the delivery of relaxing medications intravenously to control moderate to severe apprehension.  In our office, the sedation is administered by licensed, experienced and board certified personnel.
