Sedation

In some cases, these phobias can even prevent a person from receiving the dental care they need to maintain proper oral health. At Eric D. Ford DDS, we offer sedation dentistry to create a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for our patients.

You, too, may qualify for sedation dentistry, especially if your anxiety dictates the frequency of your visits. During your next appointment, ask us about your sedation options. Dr. Eric Ford and the rest of our team have received extensive training for the safe and effective use of several types of sedation.

Nitrous Oxide


Nitrous oxide, commonly known as "laughing gas," is the most common type of dental sedation. Patients who undergo nitrous oxide sedation report feelings of euphoria and deep relaxation. The gas also takes and loses effect almost instantly, making it the only sedation that does not require you to arrange a ride after your appointment.

The gas is administered through a facemask that is placed over the nose at the beginning of the procedure. Once we complete the procedure, we pump oxygen through the mask to reduce or eliminate post-operative side effects. Nitrous oxide is easy to control with minimal side-effects, making it one of the safest and most effective ways to eliminate anxiety.
