While the use of a local anesthetic to prevent pain is sufficient for many dental patients, sedation may be appropriate to ensure the safe, efficient, and complete delivery of dental procedures.
Sedation, (nitrous oxide or “laughing gas”) and oral sedation is the easiest and safest way to relax patients and may be recommended for patients who have a fear of dentists and dental offices.
Dentists are trained for minimal sedation but those offering moderate sedation must have the appropriate qualifications and be registered with the Manitoba Dental Association in the province of Manitoba.
To be sure if your dentist and dental office can provide sedation, you can ask your dentist their qualifications before treatment or contact the Manitoba Dental Association to confirm their capability.
At Ariu Dental Centre we provide nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) sedation as well as oral sedation services to help our patients reduce their anxiety during their dental treatment.
Many patients suffer from a fear of visiting the dentist. One of the easiest and safest ways to relax patients is through the use of nitrous oxide or “laughing gas.”
