Sedation Options Available at FLOSS

Inhaled Sedation (Nitrous Oxide)

When it’s Best:
Ideal for mild to moderate anxiety, short procedures or patients who want to stay awake and aware. Suitable for children and adults in good health. Not recommended for people with nasal blockages or serious breathing issues.

How it Works:
You breathe the sedative through a soft nose mask. It acts quickly and wears off soon after treatment ends.

Oral Sedation (Anti-Anxiety Meds)

When it’s Best:
For moderate anxiety, longer or multiple procedures and patients who want to be less aware but responsive. Recommended for adults and older teens with no health risks. You must arrange for a driver.

How it Works:
Take a prescribed sedative pill about one hour before your appointment. It may cause drowsiness and mild memory loss during the visit.

IV Sedation (Conscious Sedation)

When it’s Best:
For severe dental anxiety, complex surgeries like implants or extractions and patients with a strong gag reflex or dental trauma history. Available to healthy adults or those medically cleared after evaluation. A driver is required.

How it Works:
A sedative is delivered through a small IV in your arm or hand. You stay awake but deeply relaxed and may not remember the procedure. Continuous monitoring ensures your safety.
