At Coulter Family Dentistry, we want you to have a comfortable experience. We
offer several levels of sedation for anxious or fearful patients
Nitrous Oxide- laughing gas helps patients feel less anxiety and
less discomfort in their mouths during procedures. The effects of the gas wear
off within a few minutes of breathing oxygen.
Oral
Conscious Sedation- Patients are prescribed an pill to take before coming to
their appointment. The medication relieves anxiety and often can be combined
with the effects of nitrous oxide once the patient is in our office.
IV Conscious Sedation- For these patients a medication
is administered to take them to a deeper level of sedation than can be safely
accomplished with pills. Patients undergoing this type of sedation usually do
not recall anything from their procedures. In order to be licensed to perform
this type of sedation our Spokane Valley, WA dentists have received extensive training in a dental residency including a
rotation in the operating room of a hospital to administer general anesthesia to
patients. Patients are carefully monitored to ensure their safety and
comfort.
