Many patients ask if they can be knocked out or put to sleep when faced with a scary-sounding treatment. However, most people don\u2019t realize the risk that comes with being fully unconscious! Fortunately, there\u2019s a safer and gentler treatment that can offer all the same benefits you\u2019re looking for: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.julingtoncreekdentistry.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">nitrous oxide sedation in St. Johns<\/a>. This reliable form of sedation dentistry has been used for hundreds of years to help patients comfortably get the dental care they need. Keep reading to learn more about what to expect from nitrous oxide dental sedation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sedation Dentistry Vs Putting Patients to Sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All forms of sedation dentistry, including nitrous oxide sedation, oral conscious sedation, and IV dental sedation, keep you conscious throughout your appointment. At first, some patients are dismayed to hear this, but it\u2019s actually the safer alternative. Being fully unconscious comes with a list of serious risks to your health and well-being. Alternatively, sedation dentistry keeps patients conscious, but affords them virtually no discomfort while undergoing treatment. You\u2019ll receive all the benefits you\u2019re looking for about being put to sleep without hardly any of the risks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Nitrous Oxide Sedation Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nitrous oxide is a gas that can be breathed in via a small nose mask. Within just a few moments of entering your system, the sedative will reach your brain and take full effect. You\u2019ll feel completely relaxed and at-ease. Many patients find that their limbs feel light or tingly, and some will even begin to laugh at silly things. That\u2019s why nitrous oxide sedation is sometimes called laughing gas! These effects will remain active until the mask is removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being Asleep Vs Relaxing with Nitrous Oxide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While using nitrous oxide sedation, your ability to register physical discomfort and emotional stress is limited. Even though you\u2019ll be conscious enough to respond to your dental team and perform basic actions, many patients report feeling as if they\u2019re in a dreamlike state. You won\u2019t register any sights, sounds, or sensations that would typically cause you physical or mental discomfort. Some patients don\u2019t remember much, if anything, of their appointment afterwards. Other patients drift off to sleep while under nitrous oxide sedation, but they can be easily awoken with a gentle nudge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, being put to sleep for your dental treatment may seem like the best way to go. However, sedation dentistry options like nitrous oxide offer a far safer alternative that\u2019s just as effective!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At Julington Creek Family Dentistry, your comfort and safety are our top priorities.
