At Exeter Family Dental, we understand that dental anxiety or fear can prevent many individuals from seeking the essential dental care they need. Our sedation services are specifically tailored to cater to patients who experience apprehension or discomfort during dental procedures, ensuring a stress-free and relaxed experience.

Our team of highly trained and experienced dental professionals prioritizes your comfort and well-being. We offer various sedation options, including nitrous oxide sedation, oral sedation, and intravenous (IV) sedation.

For those with mild to moderate anxiety, nitrous oxide sedation, also known as ‘laughing gas,’ is a safe and effective option. Administered through a small mask placed over your nose, nitrous oxide helps you feel calm and relaxed during the procedure while remaining fully conscious. Its effects wear off quickly, allowing you to resume your daily activities soon after your appointment.

For patients with moderate anxiety, oral sedation in the form of prescribed medication can provide a deeper level of relaxation while still allowing you to remain conscious throughout the treatment.

In cases where a more profound level of sedation is required, our skilled anesthesiologists administer IV sedation. This approach allows you to be in a sleep-like state, completely unaware of the procedure, and wake up with little to no memory of the treatment.

Our compassionate team will thoroughly assess your medical history and level of anxiety to determine the most suitable sedation option for you. With our sedation services, you can overcome your dental fears and receive the necessary dental care to maintain optimal oral health without unnecessary stress or worry. At Exeter Family Dental, your comfort and safety are our utmost priority, and we are committed to providing you with a soothing dental experience that ensures a healthy smile for life.
