Sedation Dentist Clearwater
Giving Patients a Reason to Breathe Easy
Neglected oral healthcare is a reality for patients suffering from dental anxiety. Those who cannot sit still for prolonged periods, have a fear of needles, or who previously suffered dental trauma at another office often require something to calm their nerves and allow for efficient, precise, and comfortable dentistry. With dental sedation at Suncoast Dental Arts, we can create a positive environment and experience for patients once and for all. Call us to find out if nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation dentistry in Clearwater might be right for you.

Oral Conscious Sedation
Offered as a prescribed pill medication, oral conscious sedation is easy for patients to take, requiring no needles or masks. Its fast-acting effects allow for a deeper sense of relaxation while also dulling the senses so that pain is unlikely to be felt. Its use requires that someone escort you to and from your appointment, as it can take time to wear off. However, if you choose oral conscious sedation, you can expect to get the oral healthcare you need without having to work through anxiety.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Milder than oral conscious sedation is nitrous oxide. Safe to use and highly effective, it is inhaled through a nasal mask, quickly causing you to become calmer and more relaxed during treatment. You’ll achieve a level of comfort and euphoria that often causes some to giggle. Fortunately, once Dr. Cannady turns off the gas and removes the mask, the effects dissipate quickly, allowing you to resume regular activity following your appointment.
