There is a certain percentage of the population that has a serious phobia to dental
treatment. These people, unlike most are not just nervous about going to the dentist,
they are terrified. Harbour Landing Dental can deliver to them a level of sedation
that allows them not only to have their treatment done, but also not be aware of
it or remember it.
We all love to walk out of the dentist’s office with fresh-feeling teeth and an
improved state of oral health, but for some people, the idea of actually going to
the dentist can make them downright fearful. Yet, not only the timid elects sedation
dentistry. Some patients have to undergo multiple cosmetic procedures, but do not
have the time to revisit Harbour Landing Dental. In these situations, sedation dentistry
can help comfort a patient’s experience, and help make the most of their time spent
with us.
At Harbour Landing Dental, we want you to feel at ease under the care of our certified
staff. There are various types of anesthetic options, which are dependent on your
procedure and preference. Typically, a patient can choose from oral sedation (the
“pill”) or nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”).
This service is known to help ease stress and anxiety from a patient’s experience
with dental cosmetic procedures.
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as "laughing gas", is a chemical compound with the
chemical formula N2O. At room temperature, it is a colorless non-flammable gas,
with a pleasant, slightly sweet odor and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry
for its anesthetic and analgesic effects. It is known as "laughing gas" due to the
euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use
as an inhalant drug
