Are you here for a routine visit, or are you undergoing an invasive dental procedure? No matter your needs, sedation dentistry may be the answer you need. Sedation dentistry is the use of medications such as sedatives and anesthesia during dental procedures.
At our practice, our team combines laughing gas with a local anesthetic to help put our patients in a state of calm and comfort. Dr. Riopelle offers sedation to patients who experience dental anxiety, have health conditions which make it difficult to relax during treatment, or have other care needs that can make dental visits uncomfortable or strenuous.
Laughing gas is also offered to help make our patients comfortable during a variety of routine or non-invasive procedures for a more relaxing overall care experience. Be sure to discuss dental anxiety and other care needs with Dr. Riopelle during your next visit to see if sedation dentistry is right for you!
Laughing gas is a mild form of sedation that is safe for patients of all ages. The breathable, sweet-smelling gas is combined with oxygen. It is administered through a small mask placed over your nose during treatment so that your mouth remains open during the procedure. Laughing gas puts the patient in a state of deep relaxation, ease, or giddiness. The gas can be easily monitored during treatment, allowing our team to control the dosage the patient receives. This helps us provide a safe environment for our patients, regardless of the procedure.
Yes, sedation dentistry is safe. Dr. Riopelle and his team have the years of training and experience necessary to safely administer laughing gas to our patients. During your first visit to our San Ramon office, we will take a thorough medical history and determine if laughing gas is right for you.
