How is sedation going to make me feel?

When you undergo sedation at our office, you are aware yet relaxed. With nitrous oxide, when the procedure is completed you will receive pure oxygen to wash out the nitrous oxide from the body before leaving. Oral sedation will likely make you feel sleepier for a longer period of time.

How does nitrous compare to IV sedation?

Nitrous oxide is a safer alternative to IV sedation. Nitrous oxide is not injected into the body, and the process for nitrous can be reversed quickly if the patient does not like the way it makes them feel.

Does someone have to drive me after sedation?

Adults who are receiving nitrous do not have to have someone drive them before or after their appointment. If you take an oral medication for sedation however, you will need to have a loved one drive you to and from your appointment. The sedation effects of oral medications last longer than nitrous oxide.
