If it has been many years since you visited the dentist, you may feel anxious when you come for your next check up in Kailua-Kona. However, you are not alone in feeling this way. Dental anxiety is a common feeling in patients of all ages, even those who have always come in regularly. In order to make you feel as comfortable as we can, we offer sedation dentistry<\/a> to our patients in Kailua-Kona.<\/p>\n

Oral Sedation Dentistry<\/h3>\n

Oral sedation is the most common type of sedation dentistry<\/a>. With this process, we will help you clear up your dental anxiety before you even arrive. You will take an oral sedative about one hour before your appointment, and during your appointment, you should feel totally at ease. Many patients say they barely remember the treatments at all. The only downside to oral sedation is that you will need someone to drive you to the dentist and back home.<\/p>\n

Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry<\/h3>\n

Another way to address dental anxiety is with nitrous oxide, or \u201claughing gas\u201d. This is an inhaled gas that is given to you during your treatment. There are many benefits to using this procedure. It can be adjusted during your visit for the right amount of sedation. You do not have to have someone drive you to the dentist\u2019s office. This is an easy way to help you relax during a dental procedure.<\/p>\n
