At Davey Dental Care, we understand that many people are nervous about receiving treatment from a dentist – the mouth is a very sensitive area of the body, and many patients have had bad experiences with other dentists. Our staff understands the fear and anxiety that many our patients feel at the prospect of undergoing a dental procedure. We pride ourselves on being extremely gentle in our care, and our office provides patients with several sedation options to alleviate anxiety and stress. Located in Carmichael and serving the entire Sacramento area, Davey Dental Care offers sedation dentistry so that all of our patients can get the treatment they need to maintain a beautiful and healthy smile.
For patients who wish to remain awake and aware during their procedure, but want a soothing, relaxed dental experience, nitrous oxide may be the answer. Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide induces a warm, slightly lightheaded feeling and an overall sensation of relaxation. Patients first breathe normal air, and the nitrous oxide is introduced over a period of a few minutes, leading to a gradual slipping into relaxation. The effects of the gas wear off within a few minutes after the procedure, and patients are generally able to safely drive home after their appointment. Nitrous oxide is the most popular option for conscious sedation in the United States. The dental professionals at Davey Dental Care have years of experience administering nitrous oxide, and our patients report that it eliminates any stress or discomfort from the dental process.

We also offer our Sacramento area patients the option of sedation dentistry using oral conscious sedation. Prior to undergoing a dental procedure, the patient is given a pill. The patient remains awake throughout the procedure, but with a comfortable drifting feeling, and with little memory of the procedure afterward. Oral conscious sedation is better for longer, more complicated dental procedures. The pill's effects can last up to six hours, and side effects are very rare. A patient who chooses oral conscious sedation must be driven home by a companion after treatment is complete.
