4601 BETHEL RD. SE. PORT ORCHARD, WA 98366 Call: (360) 519-5994 Menu SEDATION DENTISTRY Sedation dentistry allows Dr. Karbassi to provide a variety of dental treatments safely and comfortably for patients who experience anxiety when visiting the dentist. There are several benefits of sedation dentistry, including: Less fear or anxiety during treatment More comfort during dental procedures A more relaxing dental experience Oral Sedation Anxiolysis is a light form of sedation dentistry. Administered orally, with mild sedation, you remain awake or very sleepy throughout the entire procedure and are able to breathe on your own, but you will feel a great sense of relaxation. Inhaled Sedation Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is the most frequently used method for easing mild to moderate anxiety. Administered through a small mask that fits over your nose, it is an effective way to calm anxiety, raises your pain threshold, and may even make time seem like it’s passing quicker than usual. At the end of your appointment, you’ll resume breathing regular oxygen, and all the effects of nitrous oxide will disappear, so you can resume your normal activities immediately.
