\"womanAlong with creepy crawlies and big heights, going to the dentist is a common fear across people of all ages. But when that fear or anxiety gets in the way of your smile health, it\u2019s a problem — but a dental phobia<\/span><\/a> can be overcome! There\u2019s no need to fear dental work when you can visit a sedation dentist<\/span><\/a> in Ripon.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your Options in Comforting Sedation <\/span><\/h2>\n

Silver Creek Dentistry offers three options in sedation dentistry<\/span><\/a>: nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. The one that\u2019s right for you depends on the procedure you\u2019re undergoing and your mental state on the day of your appointment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nitrous Oxide<\/span><\/h3>\n

Also known as laughing gas, this is the lightest form of sedation and is best for people undergoing routine dental work. It\u2019s administered with a small nasal mask you breathe through during the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nitrous oxide makes you feel light, tingly, and maybe even happy to be in the dental chair. It takes effect after a few minutes and wears off almost as quickly. You can drive away from your appointment and go on about your day as normal after undergoing nitrous oxide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients of all ages can benefit from nitrous oxide. It may be especially beneficial for children, who often have trouble sitting still during dental appointments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oral Conscious Sedation<\/span><\/h3>\n

For patients undergoing longer procedures or for those who have moderate to severe anxiety, oral conscious sedation is a wonderful option. <\/span><\/p>\n

You must have someone to drive you to and from an appointment where you\u2019re undergoing oral conscious sedation. We will prescribe a pill for you to take about an hour before your appointment. By the time you come into the office, its effects will have taken over and you will already be in a relaxed state.<\/span><\/p>\n

We may combine oral conscious sedation with nitrous oxide for additional comfort. Local anesthesia numbs the treatment site so we can work efficiently. We will give you plenty of time to come out of the sedated state after the procedure is over. <\/span><\/p>\n

IV Sedation<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019d prefer to doze throughout your treatment, IV sedation may be best for you. Most patients don\u2019t remember the details of their time in the dental chair if they undergo this type of sedation — a big benefit for anyone with severe anxiety. <\/span><\/p>\n

IV sedation is administered intravenously, and we will closely monitor the amount of medicine going into your vein to ensure you stay safe throughout the treatment. You\u2019re still technically awake while under this type of sedation, but you\u2019re completely removed from what\u2019s going on around you. It\u2019s what we call \u201ctwilight sleep.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After your treatment is complete, we\u2019ll give you time to completely wake up before sending you on your way with any post-op instructions you may have. Plan for someone to drive you home and check on you for the next 24 hours after IV sedation.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Time to Sit Back and Relax at the Dentist!<\/span><\/h2>\n
