We understand that trips to the dentist are often accompanied by fear and anxiety, so we do everything in our power to help you feel at ease.  That’s why we are proud to offer several sedation options for those who need a little extra help relaxing.

What to Expect

At Downsview Dental, we can perform two kinds of sedation; Nitrous Oxide and oral sedation.  Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is an extremely effective tool for calming nerves and inducing a state of relaxation while still allowing the patient to respond to questions and directions.  Administered through a mask, this is a safe and mild option suitable for most patients.  Oral sedation is another form of conscious sedation.  You will be given a medication to take at home so that by the time you arrive at your appointment, you will be nicely relaxed.

Sedation is administered by the dentists themselves, so most procedures performed by a doctor can include Nitrous Oxide or oral sedation.
