The most commonly used sedatives include nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. Dr. Kinsey will analyze your medical history, including current medications, to determine the best option for sedation dentistry in St. Augustine. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is delivered through the nose throughout the procedure. This method elevates the mood and creates a sense of well-being while reducing pain and anxiety. This method has been safely used for many years.
