Sedation Dentistry

Dental anxiety is a common issue that many people experience. Some people avoid going to Dr. Eric Kempter altogether due to their fear and discomfort. However, dental anxiety should not keep anyone from receiving the necessary dental treatment. This is where sedation dentistry can help.

Sedation dentistry is an effective way to manage dental anxiety and help patients receive the necessary dental treatment without discomfort or fear. With the different types of sedation available, patients can choose the best option to suit their individual needs, and have a more comfortable and positive dental experience, leading to better oral health overall.

Sedation dentistry involves the use of safe, relaxing medication to manage dental anxiety, allowing patients to receive necessary treatment completely free of discomfort or fear. To provide this calm experience, we utilize nitrous oxide, commonly known as "laughing gas", which is gently inhaled through a comfortable mask during your procedure. It creates a soothing feeling of euphoria and deep relaxation, and because the effects wear off almost instantly once the mask is removed, you can easily drive yourself home and go about the rest of your day.
