Our Gentle Dental Sedation Options
The most popular types of dental sedatives are nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Different levels of sedation(mild, moderate and deep) can be utilized depending on individual needs. Those use to the dentists may opt for milder options whereas those anxious about the visit may need something a little stronger to take the edge off.
At Pelham Links, we offer:
Nitrous Oxide
- Low-level Nitrous Oxide (also known as “laughing gas”) is inhaled through a mask during the procedure
- The gas makes you feel calm and euphoric but also somewhat detached so that the procedure doesn’t bother you
Oral Medication
- An oral sedative, usually in pill form, is given before the procedure to help you calm down and relax
- Its effects range in intensity, and can affect your cognitive and motor skills temporarily (which is why we recommend someone accompanying you)
IV Sedation
- A sedative is administered through an IV to ease your nerves and make it so you won’t feel a thing during treatment
- This form of sedation is especially ideal for lengthy or complex procedures

Worry-Free Dental Experiences Happen Here
Sedation dentistry doesn't always mean sleep.
Most patients are awake during a visit, but are still under the influence of the sedative. Sleepiness is a side effect of some medications. The calming effects of nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation and IV sedation simply makes it such a relaxing experience that some patients doze off during their visit.
Our trained doctors and team take every safety precaution when administering sedation.
We will:
- Perform a comprehensive medical evaluation and consultation to ensure you’re a healthy candidate for sedation (this will include noting current medications)
- Provide pre-treatment instructions such as fasting, arranging transportation & caregiving, and tips for a comfortable office visit
- Plan out post-operative care to ensure you heal up well and stay safe within the time it takes for sedation to wear off
