The atmosphere in our office is calming, and Dr. Bell and his team have an easygoing confidence that lowers the tension level for our patients. Still, we understand how many people have fears about getting the dental care they need. Sometimes sedation dentistry can help.

We Do Our Best to Dispel Your Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety can stem from a negative experience in the past, a fear of needles, or nervousness triggered by even the smells in a doctor’s office. The level of anxiety can be minor or so extreme that treatment is avoided completely. If you are anxious about dental treatment, you are not alone. There are many people who feel the way you do, and our office can help reduce or eliminate your anxiety around dental care. As we learn more about you and your desires, we can discuss with you the types of sedation which might be the best for you.

Sedation Dentistry with Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

A very effective way to reduce anxiety and fear is the use of nitrous oxide. We have it available in each treatment area, delivered through a nasal mask, and it really helps you relax. Many people report that the time in the dental chair goes much faster, and that an hour feels more like 30 or 40 minutes. Nitrous oxide is well suited for dentistry, as the gas leaves your system rapidly, leaving little or no “hangover,” and allowing you to safely operate a vehicle.
