Sedation Dentistry at Norlane Dental – Stress-Free Care for Anxious Patients
A Comfortable Dental Experience Is Possible
If the thought of visiting the dentist makes you nervous, you’re not alone. At Norlane Dental Surgery, we offer Sedation Dentistry to help patients overcome fear, anxiety, or discomfort so they can receive the dental care they need in total comfort.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses calming medications to help patients feel relaxed during dental procedures. It’s especially helpful for:
- Patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety
- People with a low pain threshold or strong gag reflex
- Those undergoing long or complex procedures
- Children or adults with special healthcare needs
Sedation Options at Norlane Dental:
- Inhalation Sedation (Nitrous Oxide): Also known as “laughing gas,” it provides gentle, quick relief and wears off soon after the procedure.
- Oral Sedation: A prescribed pill taken before treatment to reduce anxiety while keeping you conscious and responsive.
- IV Sedation: Delivered directly into the bloodstream for a deeper level of relaxation. Used in more complex or surgical procedures. (Available through referral or specialist care)
