Calm Your Nerves With Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is very safe when administered by a professional and aids patients with anxiety, low pain tolerance, sensitive gag reflex, or difficulty sitting still or holding their mouth open for extended periods of time.

Relax with Oral Conscious Sedation

With oral conscious sedation, you’ll take a pill by mouth an hour before the procedure begins to make you feel relaxed and even a bit groggy. You’ll still be aware enough to communicate with your dentist. Because oral sedation temporarily affects your memory and motor skills, you’ll need a friend or family member to drive you home after your procedure.

Transparency is Key

At Genesis Dental, we believe everyone deserves access to quality oral healthcare, and with the use of sedation therapy for dentistry, we make that a possibility for as many people as possible. The latest technology in dentistry doesn’t just allow us to make your smile look better, it also helps us to make you feel better.
