Safe & Comfortable Sedation Options in Fort Worth
We provide the following sedation dentistry options in our Fort Worth, TX office.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas,” is one of the most well-known forms of sedation, and it’s ideal for patients with mild to moderate feelings of anxiety or discomfort. At White Settlement Family Dentistry we’ll administer the gas in our Fort Worth, TX office through a mask that fits over the nose, and within a few minutes, patients should begin to fall into a deeply relaxed, almost euphoric state.
Common Reasons Patients Choose Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is a practical solution for a wide range of patients. Common reasons include dental-related fears or anxieties, past traumatic dental experiences, difficulty with standard numbing, a strong gag reflex, fear of needles or shots, and extremely sensitive teeth.
Sedation is often combined with other treatments to make longer or more complex procedures more manageable. For example, patients undergoing tooth extractions, root canal treatment, or multiple dental crowns in a single visit often benefit from sedation to stay comfortable throughout.
