Dental Sedation in Evansville, IN

If you've ever felt nervous or anxious about visiting your dentist, you should know that millions of people feel the same way you do, and that's why your team at All in the Family Dental offers dental sedation. 

We can help you feel comfortable in the dental chair, and here's what you should know about your options for sedation dentistry in Evansville. 

Comfortable Dental Sedation for Everyone

Nitrous Oxide

Also called laughing gas, nitrous oxide offers a mild level of sedation that "takes the edge off" and helps patients of all ages relax during all types of dental procedures. Whether you just need your teeth cleaned or you have complex repairs to complete, nitrous oxide can help you feel more at ease. 

If you choose to have nitrous oxide during your dental treatment, you'll wear a mask that comfortably delivers nitrous oxide combined with oxygen. The combination works quickly to help you relax, and it leaves your system just as quickly once we remove the mask. You shouldn't have any lingering side effects, and it's safe for you to drive and return to normal activities after a treatment procedure with nitrous oxide. 

Oral Conscious Sedation

For patients who need a deeper level of sedation to get through their dental appointments, we also offer oral conscious sedation. Our dentists prescribe medication that patients can take one hour before their procedure that helps them relax during their treatment. 

While you may feel deeply relaxed and even as if you're sleeping, you'll still be conscious and responsive to our team. The medication has an amnesic effect, and due to that, most patients have little to no memory of their dental procedure. You will also need to arrange transportation to and from your appointment due to the nature of the medication. It's also a good idea to plan on resting for the remainder of the day after your procedure. 

IV Conscious Sedation

This is the deepest level of dental sedation that we offer at All in the Family Dental. During IV conscious sedation, medication is delivered intravenously while we monitor your vital signs and heart rate throughout your procedure. Our dentists can adjust the medication as needed during IV conscious sedation to ensure that you're maintaining the deepest level of relaxation. 

You will also need transportation to and from your appointment and plenty of time to rest and recover after treatment with IV conscious sedation.
