Comfortable, Stress-Free Visits
Expert Sedation Specialists
Are you nervous or apprehensive about dental treatment? You’re not alone! At Tomalty Dental Care, we offer different sedation options for our patients who may be feeling a little anxious. Many people feel anxious about dental visits due to fear of pain, past negative experiences, or even the sounds and smells of a dental office. This anxiety can lead to avoiding necessary treatments, which might affect oral health. Sedation dentistry helps overcome these fears, ensuring that you can maintain your dental health without discomfort or worry.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s commonly referred to as "sleep dentistry," although most patients remain awake, except for those who receive general anesthesia. Sedation is available in various levels, from mild relaxation to deeper sedation, based on your needs and the type of procedure you’re getting.
We offer oral conscious sedation at Tomalty Dental Care. With oral conscious sedation, the patient will feel very relaxed but can still breathe on their own; they just require someone to drive them to and from the appointment. We also offer nitrous oxide for surgical treatment in our Delray location, commonly known as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide is very relaxing and leaves the system immediately, so the patients can drive themselves.
