On the contrary, sedation is not only painless, it’s a pain reliever! The administration of the sedatives we offer does not involve any discomfort. With nitrous oxide, you simply inhale a combination of nitrous oxide gas along with oxygen through your nose while you wear a gas mask.
Oral conscious sedation involves taking an oral medication. Depending on the type of treatment you are getting, we may combine the sedative with the administration of local anesthesia to ensure that you don’t feel any pain from the procedure.
During your appointment, you will experience the effects of the sedative which include relaxation, elimination of pain sensations, reduced stress and worry, and feelings of euphoria. Best of all, you likely won’t remember anything from your appointment because of the amnesiac effect of the sedative.
