We offer sedation options including sleep dentistry, IV sedation, and nitrous oxide for our Brantford patients who experience anxiety before dental appointments.
When you undergo dental treatment with sedation, your dentist will administer a drug before or during the dental procedure that will help you feel calm and relaxed.
At Cornerstone Dentistry, we offer IV sedation and nitrous oxide sedation during treatment, or you can take an oral sedative ahead of time to help ease the anxiety associated with any dental treatment.
Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is also used as a sedation option for patients. Many patients also do well with oral medications and/or nitrous oxide (laughing gas).
