Types of Sedation Dentistry in Tampa

• Laughing gas:

This is one of the most common forms of sedation dentistry. Laughing gas is inhaled through a mask that is placed over your nose. This method does not put you asleep, and our dentist can control the amount of sedation that you receive. You may be allowed to drive home after this procedure.

• Oral Sedation:

This type of sedation comes in the form of a pill or liquid that you take orally. You may still be awake, but you will feel more at ease while your dental work is being performed.
