Do you struggle with dental anxiety or fear? You’re not alone. Many people find dental visits stressful. At LPK Dental, we offer sedation dentistry to help you manage your anxiety and receive the treatments you need in comfort. Our compassionate dentists, Dr. Liesen, Dr. Pinzl, and Dr. Kessinger, are experienced in providing sedation dentistry options to ensure your visit is relaxed and comfortable.

What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. At LPK Dental, we offer two main types of sedation:

• Oral Conscious Sedation: This involves taking a pill before your appointment, making you feel drowsy and relaxed. You’ll remain conscious and able to respond to our dentists, but you’ll likely feel less anxious and have limited memory of the procedure. The effects wear off in a few moments, and with a little bit of patience, you can drive yourself home after.
• Nitrous Oxide Sedation: Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask we place over your nose and helps you feel calm and at ease. The effects wear off quickly, allowing you to drive yourself home after the appointment. Nitrous Oxide Sedation is also safe for kids, and helps make those longer visits in the dental chair a lot easier! More on this to follow below.

Is Sedation Dentistry Right for You?

As a general rule, sedation dentistry is a safe and effective option for people who:

• Experience dental anxiety or fear
• Have a sensitive gag reflex
• Need extensive dental work
• Have difficulty getting numb
• Want a more comfortable dental experience

Sedation Dentistry for Children

We understand that dental visits can be especially stressful for children. Nitrous oxide sedation is a safe and effective option for children who experience dental anxiety or fear. It can help your child relax during their appointment and make their experience more positive. Their little smiles need love too, and we’re passionate about making their stay one to remember for all the right reasons!
