It often employs a group of drugs called benzodiazepines, which reduce anxiety, cause drowsiness, and reduce memory of the procedure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pdefault\">IV conscious sedation is a technique of sedation dentistry in which your dentist administers the medication through your veins. It is typically inserted through the veins in your arm or hand. A local anesthetic will numb the nerves where the needle is inserted. The initial dose involves a light pinch as it is inserted into the vein, and many say it is virtually painless. Within 30 seconds, you will feel relaxed and less fearful but still able to respond to your surroundings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pdefault\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/madeforthismoment.asahq.org\/anesthesia-101\/types-of-anesthesia\/ivmonitored-sedation\/\">American Society of Anesthesiology<\/a> notes that IV conscious sedation is different from general anesthesia and that the patient will not be unconscious during IV conscious sedation but rather drowsy and relaxed.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"e46960-e35 x-acc-item\"><button id=\"tab-e46960-e35\" class=\"x-acc-header\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-e46960-e35\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e35\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-content\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-indicator\">+<\/span><span class=\"x-acc-header-text\"><prolldown>What happens before I am sedated?<\/prolldown><\/span><\/span><\/button><div id=\"panel-e46960-e35\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-e46960-e35\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e35\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" class=\"x-collapsed\"><div class=\"x-acc-content\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e46960-e36 m108g-1q m108g-1s m108g-1u m108g-1v m108g-1x m108g-1y\"><p class=\"pdefault\">Your dentist will explain the procedure, your eating schedule, how to dress, and aftercare.

The colorless, odorless gas is mixed with oxygen and administered through a small mask placed over your nose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pdefault\">Nitrous oxide works quickly to create feelings of euphoria and relaxation while reducing anxiety and pain sensitivity. Unlike deeper forms of sedation, you remain fully conscious and able to communicate with your dental team throughout the procedure. Most patients describe a warm, pleasant sensation of wellbeing, and some may experience mild tingling in their hands and feet. The American Dental Association recognizes nitrous oxide as one of the safest sedation methods available, with minimal side effects and no lingering after-effects.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"e46960-e56 x-acc-item\"><button id=\"tab-e46960-e56\" class=\"x-acc-header\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-e46960-e56\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e56\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-content\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-indicator\">+<\/span><span class=\"x-acc-header-text\"><prolldown>What happens before I am sedated?<\/prolldown><\/span><\/span><\/button><div id=\"panel-e46960-e56\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-e46960-e56\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e56\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" class=\"x-collapsed\"><div class=\"x-acc-content\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e46960-e57 m108g-1q m108g-1s m108g-1u m108g-1v m108g-1x m108g-1y\"><p class=\"pdefault\">Your dentist will explain the procedure and address any questions you might have. Unlike other sedation methods, nitrous oxide doesn't require any special preparation. You can eat normally before your appointment and drive yourself home afterward. The mask will be placed over your nose, and you'll be asked to breathe normally as the gas takes effect.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"e46960-e58 x-acc-item\"><button id=\"tab-e46960-e58\" class=\"x-acc-header\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-e46960-e58\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e58\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-content\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-indicator\">+<\/span><span class=\"x-acc-header-text\"><prolldown>How will I feel when treatment is complete?<\/prolldown><\/span><\/span><\/button><div id=\"panel-e46960-e58\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-e46960-e58\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e58\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" class=\"x-collapsed\"><div class=\"x-acc-content\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e46960-e59 m108g-1q m108g-1s m108g-1u m108g-1v m108g-1x m108g-1y\"><p class=\"pdefault\">One of the greatest advantages of nitrous oxide is how quickly it leaves your system. Once your procedure is complete, you'll be given pure oxygen to breathe for about 5 minutes, which clears the nitrous oxide from your body. You'll feel normal almost immediately, with no \"hangover\" effect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pdefault\">Most patients can drive themselves home and return to their regular activities immediately following treatment, including work or school.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"e46960-e60 x-acc-item\"><button id=\"tab-e46960-e60\" class=\"x-acc-header\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-e46960-e60\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e60\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-content\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-indicator\">+<\/span><span class=\"x-acc-header-text\"><prolldown>Am I eligible for Nitrous Oxide Sedation?<\/prolldown><\/span><\/span><\/button><div id=\"panel-e46960-e60\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-e46960-e60\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e60\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" class=\"x-collapsed\"><div class=\"x-acc-content\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e46960-e61 m108g-1q m108g-1s m108g-1u m108g-1v m108g-1x m108g-1y\"><p class=\"pdefault\">Nitrous oxide sedation may be ideal for the following patients:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n \t<li><span class=\"pdefault\">Mild to moderate dental anxiety<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span class=\"pdefault\">Children who are nervous about dental treatment<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span class=\"pdefault\">Sensitive gag reflex<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span class=\"pdefault\">Difficulty sitting still for longer procedures<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span class=\"pdefault\">Fear of needles or dental instruments<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span class=\"pdefault\">Patients who want to remain conscious but relaxed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e46960-e62 m108g-c m108g-e m108g-f m108g-g m108g-i m108g-q m108g-v m108g-15\" style=\"--tco-dc108g-2l:rgb(255, 255, 255);--tco-dc108g-2o:rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e46960-e63 m108g-1e m108g-1f m108g-1g\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e46960-e64 m108g-1q m108g-1r m108g-1s m108g-1v m108g-23 m108g-25 m108g-26\"><p class=\"pdefault\">Nitrous oxide is safe for most patients, including children.

Most commonly, dentists prescribe medications from the benzodiazepine family, such as Valium, Halcion, or Ativan, which help reduce anxiety, relax muscles, and create a sense of calm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pdefault\">With oral sedation, you remain conscious throughout your treatment but feel significantly relaxed. Many patients experience a state of deep relaxation where time seems to pass quickly, and they often have limited memory of the procedure afterward. This \"amnesia effect\" is beneficial for patients with dental phobia as it helps prevent the formation of additional negative memories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pdefault\">The American Dental Association notes that oral sedation provides a moderate level of sedation that helps many patients receive necessary dental care they might otherwise avoid.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"e46960-e77 x-acc-item\"><button id=\"tab-e46960-e77\" class=\"x-acc-header\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-e46960-e77\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e77\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-content\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-indicator\">+<\/span><span class=\"x-acc-header-text\"><prolldown>What happens before I am sedated?<\/prolldown><\/span><\/span><\/button><div id=\"panel-e46960-e77\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-e46960-e77\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e77\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" class=\"x-collapsed\"><div class=\"x-acc-content\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e46960-e78 m108g-1q m108g-1s m108g-1u m108g-1v m108g-1x m108g-1y\"><p class=\"pdefault\">Your dentist will review your medical history and current medications to ensure oral sedation is safe for you. You'll receive a prescription with instructions on when to take the medication, typically about an hour before your appointment. You must arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment, as you will not be able to drive while under the effects of the medication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pdefault\">You may be instructed to avoid eating for a few hours before your appointment, and your dentist will provide specific preparation guidelines.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"e46960-e79 x-acc-item\"><button id=\"tab-e46960-e79\" class=\"x-acc-header\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-e46960-e79\" data-x-toggle=\"collapse\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e79\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-content\"><span class=\"x-acc-header-indicator\">+<\/span><span class=\"x-acc-header-text\"><prolldown>How will I feel when treatment is complete?<\/prolldown><\/span><\/span><\/button><div id=\"panel-e46960-e79\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-e46960-e79\" data-x-toggleable=\"e46960-e79\" data-x-toggle-collapse=\"1\" class=\"x-collapsed\"><div class=\"x-acc-content\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e46960-e80 m108g-1q m108g-1s m108g-1u m108g-1v m108g-1x m108g-1y\"><p class=\"pdefault\">After your procedure, you may feel drowsy for several hours.
