Anesthesia options available: Local AnesthesiaLocal anesthesia is commonly used for minor procedures and provides numbness in a targeted area. The patient remains awake and the feelings of discomfort are eliminated.  Nitrous OxideNitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a mild sedative that the patient inhales to reduce anxiety. Used in conjunction with local anesthesia, it does not cause the patient to lose consciousness.  IV sedationIV sedation is commonly used for more complex surgical procedures or for patients with high dental anxiety. This type of anesthesia, administered through the vein, induces a state of unconsciousness. The patient is unaware of the procedure being performed. |
