Sedation Dentistry Simpsonville
Let Us Help You Take Control of Your Dental Anxiety
If it has been years since you last visited the dentist’s office, you’re not alone. Many patients who suffer from dental anxiety forgo regular dental visits, assuming they will be fine. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case, and it can result in severe dental issues that require much time and money to fix. But with sedation dentistry, our Tylan Creek Family Dentistry team can minimize your fears; instead, creating a more positive experience that leads to improved oral and overall health.

Oral Conscious Sedation
Delivered in the form of a prescribed pill that your dentist will provide, oral conscious sedation is slightly more powerful than nitrous oxide. Giving patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety a chance to calm down and receive essential oral healthcare, this method requires no needles. Instead, taking the medication one to two hours before an appointment allows an individual to become fully relaxed, making the time spent on treatment easier for both the patient and staff.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Milder than oral conscious sedation, nitrous oxide is safe to use and requires no pills or injections. Patients may experience slight euphoria as they become calmer during their visit. Although not asleep, a patient may try to doze off but can be awoken quickly by the dental team when needing to respond to certain cues. The mask that is worn over the nose allows patients to easily breathe in the mixture and allows the effects to come on quickly, yet one the mask is removed, life will resume as normal in just minutes, allowing individuals to return to work or school without any ill side effects.
