Come to the Dentist to Relax
Sedation dentistry allows you to put your fear of the dentist to rest.
If you are like most people, you may have been avoiding the dentist’s office due to a fear of pain. Whatever dental issue you are experiencing is bad enough – why add anxiety and inconvenience to your symptoms? Sedation dentistry makes dental fear and anxiety a thing of the past. Now you can come to your dental appointment, receive your treatment, and leave with little to no memory of the dental chair. Dr. Samuel DeAngelo is proud to offer patients the peace-of-mind and convenience that comes with sedation dentistry.

Who Can Benefit From Sedation?
You might be avoiding the dentist because of a traumatic experience as a child, or even as an adult. You are not alone! Unfortunately, like others, you may be currently in pain and ignoring nature’s warning sign that something is very wrong. Do not let fear of the dentist keep you from getting the treatment you need. You can benefit from sedation dentistry if you have experienced any of the following:
- High dental anxiety
- Traumatic past dental experiences
- Limited time to receive treatment
- Very sensitive teeth
- A severe gag reflex
- Embarrassment about your teeth
- A fear of shots and needles
- A fear of general noises, smells, and tastes associated with the dental office
- Difficulty getting numb
- Complex dental issues
We offer Nitrous Oxide (NO2) and IV Sedation to help relax you. Nitrous Oxide sedation includes using a mask to inhale the “laughing gas” while IV sedation is hooked up to your arm.
Forget Your Worries While in Our Office
Types of Sedation We Offer
Dr. DeAngelo uses local anesthetics to ensure our patients are comfortable when receiving treatment. However, if you would like to be even more relaxed for your procedure, Dr. DeAngelo offers sedation to relieve your anxiety and make your visit as comfortable as possible. All methods are safe and closely monitored by Dr. DeAngelo.
Nitrous Oxide – A special mask is worn and nitrous oxide is inhaled. Also called “laughing gas,” this method has been used by dentists for decades because it is fast-acting and can be controlled from minute to minute. After the procedure, you will feel like your normal self within minutes and will even be able to drive yourself home.
IV Sedation – You will be completely relaxed with a flow of sedation directly into your bloodstream that is closely controlled and monitored by Dr. DeAngelo. Your heart rate and breathing will be monitored as well. This method is great for patients with a very high level of anxiety. Patients typically do not even remember being in the dental chair after their visit, and will need someone to drive them home.
Dr. DeAngelo is proud to offer dental treatment that is free from pain and fear. Call our office today to make an appointment and benefit from sedation dentistry.
