Sedation Dentistry in Hamilton, Ohio

If you have stress or anxiety about coming to the dentist, our sedation dentistry in Hamilton, Ohio, will help make you comfortable. We understand that stress during dental appointments is common, and it’s our mission to provide you with comfortable care. 

How Sedation Dentistry Can Help You

Sedation dentistry takes the anxiety out of dentistry. We use medication to help you relax so you can get the treatment you need without fear or stress. This is especially helpful for people who have a deep rooted fear of the dentist, those with sensitive teeth or those who need to have more complex or longer procedures.

By reducing anxiety and pain, sedation dentistry allows you to get the dental care you need in a calm and controlled environment.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is one of the most common ways to help patients relax before and during dental procedures. This type of sedation involves taking a prescribed medication, usually in pill form, about an hour before your appointment. The medication puts you into a deep relaxation state, but you will be awake and responsive. Many patients feel calm and may feel drowsy, some even fall asleep during the procedure.

When oral sedation may be recommended:

  • Patients with moderate dental anxiety.
  • Patients undergoing more complex or invasive dental procedures.
  • Patients with a strong gag reflex or sensitive teeth.
  • Patients requiring multiple treatments in one visit.

Sublingual Sedation

Sublingual sedation involves placing a sedative medication under the tongue, where it dissolves quickly and is absorbed into the bloodstream. This method has a faster onset of relaxation than oral sedation and is used for patients who need a quick and effective way to calm down before their procedure.

When sublingual sedation may be recommended:

  • Patients needing fast-acting sedation due to high anxiety.
  • Patients who don’t like to swallow pills.
  • Patients requiring mild to moderate sedation for short procedures.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is another sedation option at Twin Dental. It is administered through a small mask placed over your nose. Nitrous oxide is inhaled and puts you in a calm state. The level of sedation can be adjusted during the procedure so you get just the right amount of relaxation without being unconscious.

Benefits of nitrous oxide:

  • Fast-acting and adjustable levels of sedation.
  • Minimal side effects with fast recovery.
  • Suitable for all ages, including children.
  • For patients with mild anxiety or minor procedures.
