At Capital Smiles, we know there\u2019s another phobia that affects people of all ages &#8212; and it\u2019s visiting the dentist. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">When dental <\/span><span class=\"s1\">anxiety prevents you from receiving the regular preventive attention that keeps smiles healthy, it\u2019s a problem. That\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/dr-erin-page.html\"><span class=\"s2\">Dr. Erin Page<\/span><\/a> are pleased to offer <\/span><span class=\"s3\">three sedation dentistry options <\/span><span class=\"s1\">in the Capital District: nitrous oxide, oral conscious, and IV sedation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Why Sedation Dentistry?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">People who are nervous visiting the dentist may have to take frequent breaks for even simple procedures, like a checkup and cleaning. By helping you to fully relax throughout your treatment, sedation dentistry helps\u00a0 Dr. Page perform your dental care more efficiently and effectively. That means you spend less time at the dentist, and more time enjoying a happy, healthy smile. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sedation dentistry is a wonderful option for people who are anxious <\/span><span class=\"s3\">when <\/span><span class=\"s1\">visiting the dentist, as well as those who have physical or mental disabilities which may inhibit them from reclining in the dental chair for extended periods of time. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Your Sedation Options at Capital Smiles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">At Capital Smiles, we are pleased to offer <\/span><span class=\"s3\">three sedation dentistry options<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, all of which can be combined with local anesthesia to ensure you don\u2019t feel a thing at the treatment site. The method of sedation that is right for you <\/span><span class=\"s3\">depends on how nervous you are<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, what you\u2019re having performed, and, ultimately, your personal preference. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Our patients can choose from\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Nitrous oxide, AKA laughing gas. You breathe a gas through a small nasal mask throughout your treatment. Nitrous oxide helps you feel relaxed, tingly, and maybe even happy to be at the dentist. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">The effects wear off minutes after the procedure is complete and the mask is removed. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Oral conscious sedation. Take a pill we prescribe in advance of your treatment. By the time you settle into the dental chair, its effects have taken over and you are able to fully relax, removed from the sights, smells, and sounds of what\u2019s going on around you. You may not remember the details of your treatment after sedation wears off, and will probably remain groggy for the rest of the day. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><span class=\"s7\">IV sedation. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Administered intravenously, IV sedation is often the best choice for patients in need of complex dental treatment or who suffer from severe dental-related anxiety.\u00a0 Dr. Page is only a very few number of general dentists in our area who are qualified to administer IV sedation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>IV sedation also allows Dr. Page\u00a0 to complete comprehensive dental treatment plans in our office, most often without the need for additional appointments and coordination with other specialists.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">What Should I Expect From Sedation Dentistry?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You don\u2019t have to do anything too special to undergo sedation dentistry. Just wear comfortable clothes and arrange for a ride to and from your appointment if you\u2019re undergoing oral conscious or IV sedation. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">You will also want to have someone check on you for the hours following your appointment, too, as you\u2019ll likely remain groggy for the rest of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Request an Appointment Today! <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Are you interested in relaxing your way through your next dental appointment? <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Your Niskayuna dentist <\/span><span class=\"s1\">can help with options in sedation dentistry. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/contact-us.html\"><span class=\"s2\">Contact us<\/span><\/a> to request an appointment today! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether it\u2019s spiders, heights, or public speaking, research says fear is universal.
