Sedation Dentistry

Dental Sedation Solutions in Owensboro

Are you afraid of the dentist? Maybe when you were a child you had a bad experience at the dentist. Or maybe you have an especially sensitive mouth and you associate going to the dentist with a lot of pain.

Have you made an appointment with a dentist only to cancel it or simply not show up? It could be you are in need of dental treatment—you may even be in pain right now, but your fear of the dentist is preventing you from getting necessary care. Let us help ease your worries at Dental Designs of Owensboro!

Our sedation dentists in Owensboro, understand your fears and want you to feel relaxed and comfortable when you come visit us. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry options: oral dental sedation and laughing gas and other patient comforts.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is a big term for the dental sedation treatment that uses a pill prescribed by your sedation dentist. You take this pill right before you come to your appointment. The medication will help you relax and feel comfortable.

With oral conscious sedation, you are conscious and awake. Conscious sedation isn’t meant to make you sleep. But you may feel so relaxed that you really don’t remember much, if anything, of the procedure.

Because conscious sedation can make you woozy, you will need to have someone provide transportation for you to and from your appointment.

Sedation Dentistry With Laughing Gas

Laughing gas is a time-tested, safe dental sedation method. Laughing gas is a gas that is mixed with oxygen and you inhale it through a tube placed in your nose.

Laughing gas works very quickly and dissipates out of your system quickly, too. Because of this, you will not need to find transportation to and from your appointment if you are using laughing gas. Laughing gas is the mildest sedation dentistry option, but is marvelously effective.

If you are concerned about going to the dentist, call our office serving the Philpot area today. With the sedation dentistry treatments we offer, we feel confident that either conscious sedation or laughing gas, together with the other patient comforts we offer, can vastly improve your ability to get the dental treatment you want and need. Our sedation dentistry can help you conquer your anxiety if you are in the Owensboro area, including Whitesville and Philpot!
