To address anxiety concerns, we are pleased to offer sedation dentistry options, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation, to help make your appointment as comfortable as possible. Our goal is to alleviate your anxiety and ensure that you can receive the necessary dental care you need in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

The My Family Dental team utilizes a combination of comfort measures and sedatives to ensure you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible throughout your dental visit. If you have any questions or concerns about sedation dentistry, or would like to discuss your specific needs, please contact our team at (403) 995-9544. We are here to assist you!
Oral sedation provides mild to moderate sedation for patients dealing with anxiety. It involves the ingestion of one or two prescribed sedative pills before a dental procedure or appointment. These sedatives induce a state of sleepiness without actually causing full sleep, creating a heightened sense of relaxation and helping to alleviate stress or anxiety. Generally, patients take an initial dose approximately one hour before their appointment. If needed, and if directed to and approved by your dentist, an additional dose may be taken the night before to address anxiety-related insomnia.
Nitrous oxide is a versatile sedation option suitable for both children and adults. Designed to provide light sedation, it is ideal for individuals dealing with mild to moderate anxiety or those seeking a more relaxed experience during dental visits. The administration involves wearing a mask over the nose, allowing for the inhalation of a carefully balanced mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide. This mixture induces a gentle state of relaxation, ensuring patients remain calm and comfortable throughout their dental treatment.
If dental visits induce anxiety for you, sedation dentistry may provide a solution to receive necessary oral care without the unwanted stress. At My Family Dental, our sedation dentistry options are tailored to anxious patients, ensuring a more relaxed and comfortable experience. If you have any questions about sedation dentistry generally, our sedation dentistry options, or you would like to schedule an appointment to see if sedation dentistry is right for you, please contact My Family Dental at (403) 995-9544 and we will be happy to assist you!
