Whether it\u2019s the anxiety of feeling a little bit of pain, or the discomfort of losing control, it\u2019s a real problem when it interferes with your good oral health. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drkingscott.com\/about-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Scott<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you manage your fear with the following options in West Monroe sedation dentistry. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nitrous Oxide: Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide has helped patients relax in the dental chair for ages. It\u2019s perfect for people suffering from mild dental anxiety as well as those undergoing small procedures, like a quick filling or in-depth cleaning. The best thing about nitrous oxide is that its effects wear off as soon as the procedure is done and the mask is removed, meaning you can go on about your day as normal. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral Conscious Sedation: One of the most popular forms of sedation dentistry, oral conscious sedation works with an oral medication prescribed by Dr. Scott. You take it about an hour before your procedure, and its effects have already taken over once you\u2019re settling into the dental chair. You\u2019re still awake under oral conscious sedation, but you\u2019re totally relaxed and removed from what\u2019s going on around you &#8212; we promise. In fact, most patients report not remembering any details from their procedure once the medication\u2019s effects have worn off.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Prepare for Dental Sedation<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re undergoing nitrous oxide, you don\u2019t have to worry about making special post-procedure plans. Patients benefitting from oral conscious sedation, on the other hand, will need to ask a loved one to drive them home after the procedure, and monitor them for the next 24 hours. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule Your Appointment Today<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re one of the thousands of adults who could stand to be a little more relaxed in the dental chair, don\u2019t hesitate to find out how you can benefit from sedation dentistry. Dr. Scott and his team are well-equipped to help you glide through your next procedure &#8212; just let us show you how sedation works wonders for dental anxiety. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drkingscott.com\/contact-us.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact our office<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> today!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want you to do something for me right now: picture\u00a0the scariest thing you&#8217;re capable of imagining.
