Sedation Dentistry

Is dental anxiety or phobia keeping you from addressing your oral health needs? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone. Our team at Country Roads Family Dental in Sherman, TX can make your visit comfortable with sedation dentistry.

Laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, is an excellent way to combat anxiety for most dental procedures. The mildest form of sedation that we use, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask that rests over your nose. Nitrous oxide gas is odorless and is used in combination with pure oxygen to induce a feeling of relaxation and well-being during treatment. We can easily customize the level of sedation for each patient, which takes effect within minutes.
Being a mild sedative, you won’t experience any short-term memory loss as you might with other forms of sedation. At the end of treatment, the sedative effect caused by the laughing gas dissipates almost immediately when the mask is removed, and you will be able to return home with zero lasting effects. You don’t even need an escort to or from your appointment if you are using only nitrous oxide for sedation.

We know dental work can be a great source of dread. We don’t want to see you miserable, from worry or dental issues. We go above and beyond to resolve both your worries and your oral health needs.
