What Is Sedation Dentistry?

If the idea of going to the dentist makes you feel anxious, you aren't alone. The staff at Presidential Dental Group understands that patients of all ages can experience dental anxiety, which is why our practice offers several different types of sedation dentistry options so you can receive the oral care you need without added stress. These sedative methods can help keep you relaxed and comfortable throughout your treatment, making your experience at our Washington, D.C. office much more pleasant. If you've been putting off necessary treatment because of dental phobia, we invite you to set up an appointment with Dr. Kami'Lah Brown at our office to learn about how sedation dentistry can make getting the care you need more comfortable for you.

How Does Sedation Dentistry Work?

The type of sedative used for your procedure will depend on the level of your anxiety, the complexity of the procedure, and your medical background. We offer a selection of sedation dentistry services at Presidential Dental Group, including:

  • N2O (Nitrous Oxide): More commonly known as laughing gas, this sedative tends to create a relaxed, euphoric effect. Nitrous oxide is administered at our office using a mask that fits over your nose and mouth.
  • Oral Sedation: This option is administered in the form of a pill that you take an hour before your appointment to help keep you calm and comfortable.

With all of our sedation dentistry options, you will remain conscious throughout your treatment, though afterward, you may feel as if you were asleep. With oral sedation, you will need to make arrangements for a friend or family member to drive you home after your appointment, as you will still be groggy. Our office advises that you relax and keep a good water intake for the rest of the day following sedation dentistry sessions at Presidential Dental Group. You will likely be sleepy and low on energy for the rest of the day, but these feelings typically disappear within 24 hours.

I am eternally grateful for the care and professional services received by Dr. Hancock and HER AMAZING TEAM!

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Brown and her receptionist, Ines! From the moment I walked in, Ines made me feel so welcome, she’s always friendly, professional, and quick to help with scheduling or insurance questions. Dr. Brown is amazing, gentle, thorough, and she really takes the time to explain everything so I feel comfortable and cared for. I never feel rushed, and the whole office has such a calm and positive vibe. I actually look forward to my appointments now, which says a lot about how great they are. Highly recommend this office if you’re looking for a dentist who truly cares about her patients.

I came here for an emergency appointment after a crown I received by another dentist broke prematurely. Upset because I had an event that night and needed a nice smile, I called around to multiple dentists to see if I could make an appointment. Luckily, I came across Dr. Brown and her team. I was so happy with the temporary crown that I decided to use her services for my permanent two veneers. Dr. Brown is very professional, experienced, and meticulous. She made sure she explained the process to me and kept me informed every step of the way. She also made sure I was satisfied with the results. I received a lot of compliments on my smile, which I think she should receive credit for. I highly recommend Dr. Brown and will most likely return to her if I need more cosmetic dental work done. She’s the best, and the rest of the staff here are too! Thank you!

I went after neglecting my teeth for years due to personal situations. I know my mouth was a little jacked up, but they never gave any notion like faces or grants or anything that will make you uncomfortable Or embarrassed. I’ll let them know about my fear of dentist and I really had absolutely no anxiety while I was in there and appreciate and look forward to my next visit.
