What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry refers to the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s often used for patients who experience anxiety or fear when visiting the dentist, as well as for longer or more complex dental treatments. The goal of sedation dentistry is to provide a comfortable, stress-free dental experience, making it easier for patients to receive necessary dental care.
How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?
Sedation dentistry at Moonflower Dentistry involves the use of medications to relax patients during dental procedures. This method is not only suitable for extensive treatments but also for patients who experience dental anxiety. While sedation can be applied to most dental procedures, our expert team evaluates each case to determine the most appropriate and safe approach. Whether a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, we ensure our patients receive the most comfortable experience possible.
Moonflower Dentistry’s Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Commonly known as “laughing gas,” this option is ideal for its rapid onset and quick recovery. Preferred for shorter procedures, it helps patients relax without prolonged after-effects.
Oral Conscious Sedation: Involves taking prescribed medication before the dental appointment. This method provides a deeper level of relaxation, suitable for patients with higher anxiety levels and/or longer dental procedures.
Sedative Dental Medicine: Administered under professional supervision, this option offers relaxation for various dental treatments. For this in-office sedation option, vitals are monitored throughout the procedure. It’s tailored to the patient’s needs and the specifics of the procedure.
Each option at Moonflower Dentistry is designed to ensure patient comfort and ease during dental treatments, with safety and effectiveness as top priorities.

What to Expect During Your Sedation Dental Appointment:
During a sedation dental appointment at Moonflower Dentistry, patients will experience a relaxed state, significantly reducing any discomfort or anxiety. Here’s what you can expect:
Before Your Appointment: If you’re opting for oral conscious sedation, you’ll need to take the prescribed medication before you visit the clinic.
Sedation Administration: Upon arrival, you’ll receive nitrous oxide through a mask for quick relaxation, or we’ll assess the effects of the oral conscious sedation medication you’ve already taken.
Procedure Process: Throughout your dental treatment, you’ll be in a relaxed state, yet able to respond to any instructions. Our team will continuously monitor your vital signs to ensure your safety and comfort.
Recovery After the Procedure: Once your dental procedure is completed, we’ll be by your side, helping you as you gradually come out of the sedation. The time it takes to fully recover from the sedation depends on the type used.
After Your Appointment: We strongly recommend that you arrange for someone to drive you home if you’ve had oral conscious sedation. It’s advisable to avoid driving for the remainder of the day to ensure your safety.
