Sedation Dentistry

Oral Sedation and Nitrous for Anxiety

Being apprehensive of the dentist is nothing to be embarrassed about. We treat many patients who experience high levels of anxiety while in the dental chair. The good news is that you can get the treatment you need without having to endure a racing heart, sweaty skin, or butterflies in your stomach.

Sherwood Dental is proud to offer anxious patients an alternative to fearful dental experiences. Sedation dentistry at our office involves a high-dose sleeping pill to induce a calm, relaxed state. Our dentists are qualified to administer oral sedation as well as Nitrous-Oxide sedation. We just require that you have some bring you to and from your appointment if taking oral sedation as you cannot drive afterwards. You can use sedation dentistry during any type of treatment, including routine general dentistry checkups and cleanings as well as smile-enhancing cosmetic dentistry procedures.
