The only kind of sedative that is given as pills is oral sedation. It’s more convenient and less intrusive than other sedation options. Oral sedation is slower in taking effect than nitrous oxide, and unlike nitrous oxide gas, which wears off quickly, the effects may linger for hours after treatment.

Oral sedation can be used for any dental treatment to suit your needs. Dr. Bruyere may recommend this treatment for dental fillings, root canal procedures, periodontal deep cleaning, extractions, crowns, or other restorative procedures. We aim to make dental care as easy as possible so you can receive the oral care services you need. 

No! Sedation dentistry minimizes pain to make your treatment easier to bear. Depending on your treatment, Dr. Bruyere may combine oral sedation with local anesthesia to ensure you have a painless procedure.

Oral sedation eliminates the anxiety and fear that keeps people far from the dental chair. By experiencing less stress and worry, you’ll enjoy more pleasant dental visits. As a result, obtaining the necessary treatments to maintain good oral health becomes easier. When taken as instructed by your dentist, oral sedation is safe, easy to use, and effective in putting you at ease with dental care. When you’re calm and relaxed in the dental chair, Dr. Bruyere can work quicker and more efficiently. We’ll be able to give you quality dental care that will keep your smile in optimal health.
