What is Dental Sedation?
Are you afraid or anxious to visit the dentist? Transform your dental visits into a relaxing and enjoyable experience! Dental sedation uses medicine to help patients feel calm or sleep during dental work. This eliminates dental anxiety and removes barriers for patients who need dental work. At Glo, our welcoming atmosphere and skilled sedation dentists ensure that you feel at ease, offering medications to help you stay calm or even sleep during procedures. We are dedicated to providing the utmost comfort for every patient by removing dental anxiety and breaking down barriers, making it easier for you to prioritize your oral health.

Types of Dental Sedation
Nitrous Oxide
At Glo, we offer nitrous oxide, often referred to as 'laughing gas,' as a dental sedation to ensure a comfortable and relaxed experience. Nitrous oxide provides effective sedation, helping you feel at ease during your dental procedure. Many patients drift into a light, calming sleep while still being able to communicate. This fast-acting sedation method starts working in less than a minute and wears off quickly, allowing most patients to drive themselves home after their dental appointment.
Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation dentistry helps you achieve a state of moderate relaxation without the need for IV sedation. This method involves taking a small pill about an hour before your appointment, which helps you feel drowsy by the time you arrive. Although you will be in a moderately relaxed state, you will not be fully asleep and will be able to communicate throughout your treatment. Our team continuously monitors your vital signs during the procedure to ensure you are safe and cared for. Most patients find that they have little to no recollection of the procedure afterward, making oral conscious sedation a convenient option for a stress-free dental experience.
IV Sedation
For patients with severe dental anxiety, intravenous (IV) sedation can be a fantastic option to complete dental work. During IV sedation, our expert team will help you achieve moderate sedation, allowing you to rest during the procedure. With the help of an experienced anesthesiologist, we can perform complex dental treatments more comfortable and safely. You'll have a completely painless experience. Throughout the process, your vitals signs will be meticulously monitored to ensure you have a pleasant and safe experience. Be aware that feeling groggy after IV sedation is typical, so please arrange for a ride home from your appointment.
