Inhaled sedation (or laughing gas) is a safe and noninvasive method suitable for patients of all ages, including children. It takes effect quickly and can be easily adjusted during treatment. This gentle form of sedation wears off rapidly, allowing patients to recover without lingering grogginess. For more extensive procedures, oral sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation. Due to its longer-lasting effects, patients require transportation home after treatment.

For those seeking a drug-free alternative, NuCalm mimics the brain’s natural transition into early sleep stages. This method combines natural amino acid supplements, calming audio, light-blocking glasses, and FDA-approved relaxation patches placed behind the ears. This innovative approach offers patients a holistic way to relax during dental visits without the use of traditional sedatives.
