Sedation Options at Accent Family Dentistry

Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is inhaled through a small mask and produces a relaxed, euphoric feeling. It wears off quickly after the mask is removed, allowing you to drive yourself home. Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to produce a deeper state of relaxation. You will need a driver for oral sedation appointments.

Dr. Gong will discuss the most appropriate sedation option based on your level of anxiety and the procedures planned.

Who Is a Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry is appropriate for patients with dental anxiety or phobia, patients with a strong gag reflex, patients who have difficulty sitting still for extended periods, patients who need multiple procedures completed in one visit, and patients with special needs. Dr. Gong will review your health history to ensure sedation is safe for you.

FAQs

Sedation Dentistry in Angier, NC — Frequently Asked Questions

No. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation produce a relaxed, drowsy state — you remain conscious and can respond to Dr. Gong's instructions. General anesthesia (full unconsciousness) is not offered at our office.

Yes. Sedation dentistry has an excellent safety record when administered by a trained dentist. Dr. Gong will review your health history and medications to ensure sedation is appropriate for you.

You can drive after nitrous oxide sedation once the gas has been cleared (usually within 15 minutes). You cannot drive after oral sedation and will need a responsible adult to drive you home.

Coverage for sedation varies by insurance plan. Nitrous oxide is sometimes covered; oral sedation typically is not. Our team will verify your benefits before treatment.

With nitrous oxide, you will be fully aware during the appointment and will remember it normally. Oral sedation may cause partial amnesia of the appointment, which many anxious patients find to be a benefit.
