TYPES OF SEDATION TREATMENT IN HOUSTON
There are different types of sedation dentistry offered in Houston, Texas. The following types are some of the sedation practices performed by Dr. Wolfson of The Tanglewood Center for Aesthetic Dentistry:
Oral Conscious Sedation: A patient receives oral sedatives to be taken in the office, prior to undergoing a dental procedure. This medication helps to alleviate any anxiety. The patient will feel very relaxed and comfortable, but will not totally lose consciousness.
Inhalation Sedation: This sedation procedure is also referred to as nitrous oxide or laughing gas. It is a method of inhaling nitrous oxide gas which makes the patient sleepy and relaxed. The sedative effects will wear off within a matter of minutes upon completion of the procedure.
IV Sedation: For patients who are extremely anxious and want to be sleeping while we complete the procedures, we offer IV Sedation. All procedures are monitored by an anesthesiologist.
