We understand that millions of people suffer from dental anxiety, and while oral care is crucial, we have to start by addressing your fears so you feel comfortable making and keeping appointments.
Nitrous oxide is a gentle form of sedation that will relax you but not put you to sleep. It is a gas that is mixed with oxygen and has been safely used in dentistry since the mid-1800s. In fact, nitrous is so safe that we can use to help children relax and get the care they need.
Nitrous is inhaled through a comfortable mask that sits on your nose, so you just need to sit back and breathe normally. In a few moments, you will feel very calm, relaxed, and mildly euphoric. You will be fully conscious, but the activity around you will recede into the background.
We administer nitrous only as long as your procedure lasts, and when we remove the mask, the effects dissipate quickly. Unlike other forms of sedation, you will be able to drive yourself to and from your appointment and immediately return to your usual routine.
Because of our team’s gentle and caring approach, most of our patients don’t require sedation. But everyone has different needs, so it’s good to know that this option is available. If you have questions about nitrous oxide at our Audubon dental office, please call us so we can find the answer you need.
A family dentist is different than a general dentist. The main distinction is that family dentists care for patients of all ages, including older adults and children.
However, a family dentist may also offer advanced services beyond prevention and general dentistry. For example, your family dentist in Audubon, NJ, offers the following treatments that fall outside general services:
- Dental implants
- Cosmetic dentistry
- Sleep apnea treatment
- Invisalign® clear orthodontics
- Root canal therapy
- Sedation dentistry
How Often Should My Family See the Dentist?
Children and adults should visit the dentist every six months for checkups and dental cleanings. These preventive appointments help achieve and maintain optimal oral health. They lower your tooth decay, infections, gingivitis, and gum disease risks.
If you already have a condition like gingivitis, your dentist will talk to you about a customized treatment schedule to address the issue.
Untreated gingivitis leads to gum disease, which puts your teeth and overall wellness at serious risk.
Between dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings, brushing and flossing regularly is vital.
