At Precious Smiles Family Dentistry, we understand that patients often have anxieties and fears when it comes to receiving dental treatment. To help you feel at home in our care, Dr. Farahat is committed to transparency, walking patients through all aspects of their care to ease any concerns they may have. Our welcoming dental practice in Tampa also offers top sedation dentistry options so you can relax while you receive the treatment you need.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Commonly known as “laughing gas,” nitrous oxide is an effective and non-invasive mild sedative to treat anxiety. Administered through a comfortable mask placed over the nose, it works quickly and also wears off quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities following treatment. Nitrous oxide sedation can reduce anxiety, pain perception, and gag reflexes, producing a feeling of relaxation while the patient remains awake during treatment.
Conscious Oral Sedation for Anxiety
Conscious oral sedation offers an effective way to manage anxiety and make your dental appointments more comfortable. Dr. Farahat will prescribe a sedative to take before your visit, helping you remain deeply relaxed throughout your treatment. You'll still be awake and able to communicate with your dentist, maintaining a sense of control while feeling completely at ease.
