Sedation Dentistry in Thornhill, ON

Not all patients experience fear or anxiety about seeing a dentist, but for those who do, it can be debilitating. Patients may experience this for various reasons, including sound sensitivities to dental tools, previous negative experiences, or as a result of generalized anxiety disorder. In many cases, this leads to poor outcomes for oral health.

Our dental clinic is committed to providing safe, effective, and comfortable experiences for every patient at every visit. We offer sedation dentistry for nervous patients. Sedation uses medication to dull the senses and relax the body and mind, while still leaving patients conscious and responsive. It is considered safe and reliable by the Canadian Dental Association and is delivered by our experienced and diligent team of professionals.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation Dentistry

Our office can offer patients nitrous oxide sedation dentistry. Nitrous oxide is a colourless and odourless gas that is often referred to as “laughing gas” because it can stimulate a happy, carefree mood. Nitrous oxide is provided to a patient through a nasal mask and works very quickly to sedate a patient. It also leaves the body quickly, allowing patients to return to their normal activities (including driving) after an appointment.
