Sedation Dentistry in Townsville
If you feel scared or nervous about visiting the dentist, you’re not alone. Dental anxiety is very common amongst both adult and younger patients.
Unfortunately, dental anxiety may prevent you from taking proper care of your teeth. Sedation dentistry provides the perfect solution to help you make it through your dental appointment with no pain and less stress.
To book an appointment with our friendly dentists, call Dentist At Healthlink on (07) 4723 0624.
What type of sedation dentistry do you offer?
We provide nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, as a form of sedation dentistry. Laughing gas is a colourless gas that you comfortably inhale through a mask or tube.
You begin to feel the sedative effects quite quickly, which last throughout the whole procedure according to your dosage.
How will laughing gas calm my nerves?
Sedation dentistry relaxes you to provide you with a comfortable dental experience. Dentists have been using laughing gas for over 100 years as it is one of the most convenient, successful, and easiest forms.
Laughing gas provides a range of benefits, including:
- Suppresses pain so that you don’t feel a thing
- Quick onset
- Dosage can be adjusted according to your needs
- Helps patients overcome fear of the dentist
- Fast recovery with little to no after effects
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Laughing gas is a very safe form of sedation dentistry for most patients. Patients don’t usually experience side effects or that “groggy” feeling after the procedure. You can usually safely drive home after your dental procedure.
The only patients who may not be suitable for this type of sedation dentistry are:
- Pregnant women
- People with nitrous oxide allergies
- People who have had eye surgery
