Finding What Is Best For You
We understand that every patient is different, and no two patients will require the exact same treatments or care. That's why we offer multiple kinds of sedation to accommodate every client.
We offer the following three types of sedation:
- Oral conscious sedation: With oral conscious sedation, you are awake throughout the entire procedure, though in a much more relaxed state. You are given a pill to take one hour before your appointment time, which will ensure that it will take effect at the time of the procedure.
- IV sedation: Unlike oral conscious sedation, IV sedation is administered at the time of your appointment. Since it is delivered intravenously, the effects are felt immediately and can be adjusted by your dentist during the procedure.
- Nitrous oxide: Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is breathed in through a mask, and the effects are immediate. The gas gives you a feeling of euphoria during the entire procedure, driving away pain and making your dental appointment much more pleasurable.
Prior to the dental procedure, Dr. Sharon Minott-Warren will discuss your options with you and determine what type of sedation is best suited to meet your needs. Her team will educate you on the benefits of each type, assisting you in making an informed decision. You shouldn't have to fear a visit to the dentist. Count on our Houston periodontist to care for your oral health.
