Would you rather live your life with terrible tooth pain than\nset foot in a dentist\u2019s office? You\u2019re not alone. Many adults are so scared of\nthe dentist that they avoid treatment at all costs. But it doesn\u2019t have to be\nthis way. Your dentist in Las Cruces offers 2 types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paintedskiesdental.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">sedation\ndentistry<\/a> to help you relax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Sedation Dentistry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax so\nthey feel comfortable receiving the dental care they need. While under sedation\ndentistry, you\u2019re usually awake, but you\u2019re not stressed like you normally\nwould be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I Need Sedation Dentistry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If for whatever reason you tense up at the thought of going\nto the dentist, you would make a good candidate for sedation dentistry. It is\ngenerally used for patients who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Have a low tolerance for pain <\/li><li>Have sensitive teeth, gums, or gag reflex<\/li><li>Can\u2019t sit still in the dentist\u2019s chair <\/li><li>Need a large amount of dental work completed at\none time <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Types of Sedation Dentistry Are There?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist in Las Cruces offers 2 types of sedation\ndentistry: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Nitrous oxide sedation: <\/strong>The patient\ninhales nitrous oxide through a mask worn over the nose. It takes effect\nquickly, and allows you to feel comfortable. Once the mask is removed, the gas\nshould wear off within 15 minutes, allowing you to drive yourself home or to\nwork. Nitrous oxide sedation is ideal for those with mild dental anxiety. <\/li><li><strong>Oral conscious sedation:<\/strong> If going to the\ndentist fills you with terror before you even leave home, you might require\noral conscious sedation. You will take a sedative before your appointment at a\ntime predetermined by your dentist. The sedative will begin to take effect\nbefore you arrive at the office, so you will need someone to drive you to and\nfrom your procedure. You will be in a relaxed and peaceful state for about 12\nhours after taking the sedative, so most patients don\u2019t even remember their\ntreatment. Oral conscious sedation is highly recommended for patients with\nmoderate to severe dental anxiety. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gone are the days when you had to suffer through a toothache\nbecause you were afraid of getting treatment. Now you can receive the care you\nneed with sedation dentistry. Schedule your appointment today, and you might\nnot even remember it after it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Painted Skies Dental Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico,\nyour dental fears will be soothed.
