Sedation Dentistry

According to the Academy of General Dentistry, 40 million Americans avoid dental visits because of fear or anxiety. Are you one of them? This common phobia can be overcome. Dr. White is a DOCS-certified sedation dentist who offers soothing sedation methods to make your dental care experience positive, successful, and comfortable.

At our Broomall dental office, we offer three types of sedation: nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and oral conscious sedation. At your sedation dentistry consultation, Dr. White will help you determine the method that’s right for you. Our entire team has advanced training in sedation dentistry. We’ll safely administer your sedation, then monitor you throughout your procedures.

• Nitrous Oxide: Commonly called laughing gas, this sedation method is inhaled through a comfortable mask. Nitrous oxide alleviates anxiety as well as discomfort, and the effects wear off quickly after your treatment. You’ll get back to your busy day immediately following your appointment.
   
• Oral and Oral Conscious Sedation: You’ll take a commonly prescribed sedative prior to your appointment and enter a state of complete relaxation. Oral and oral conscious sedation patients can respond to questions and express their needs but are blissfully unaware of treatment details. If you opt for oral conscious sedation, Dr. White will administer nitrous oxide to enhance the effects of the sedative. Your sedation will diminish gradually after your appointment. Most patients resume normal activities the day following treatment.

These sedation methods not only eliminate anxiety, they can save you time as well. During your oral or oral conscious sedation dentistry appointment, Dr. White can perform complex procedures that would typically require a series of appointments to complete.
