Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is a procedure that relies on the use of some medications that make a patient to relax and be calm during an oral treatment. In most cases the patients stay awake during their treatment, except where general anesthesia like intravenous (IV) sedation is used instead.

Why Is Sedation Dentistry Important?
Sedation dentistry is important when dealing with complex dental procedures. A good example is extensive makeovers that need multiple encounters with your dentist to perform. Because of the nature of dental rebuilding treatment, you might be reluctant to seek medication for fear of undergoing such complicated and long procedures. However, sedation dentistry makes you feel like your treatment lasts only for a few minutes when the whole process takes several hours to execute.
Sedation dentistry can be recommended for you under the following circumstances:
- Your teeth are very sensitive
- You don’t get numb
- Fear of needles
- You cannot control your movements
- You have a complex dental issue
- You’ve had a traumatizing dental experience in the past

What Is the Procedure?
Sedation dentistry takes different forms and the recommended process will depend on the level of your anxiety. Also, remember that each of these methods achieves varying sedation results and below are the main methods you can find today:
- Nitrous oxide – Your dentist can use laughing gas (nitrous oxide) as a form of very light sedation for your treatment. It won’t knock you out completely and therefore you’ll still be awake during the treatment. All you’ll feel is being relaxed and calm, and afterwards you’ll manage to drive yourself back home
- Sedative pills – Your dental hygienist may administer this mild-to-moderate oral sedation during your treatment. Although you’ll stay awake and you can respond during the procedure, it is advisable for a friend or family member to go with you because the oral pills can make you slightly groggy, and you’ll, therefore, need somebody to drive you back home
- Intravenous sedation (IV) – As the highest level of dental sedation, it is administered through a needle injection. Although during treatment you’ll be able to respond and breathe on your own, in most cases you’ll not recollect what happened during the procedure afterwards. You will need someone to drive you home because IV sedation takes several hours to wear off

Lynn, my hygienist whom I see every four months, has this incredible way of making the dental visit surprisingly enjoyable. The reception team is not only welcoming but also super knowledgeable, and every staff member seems genuinely happy to see me.
I had an outstanding experience at this dental practice! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome and at ease.
The dentists were not only knowledgeable but also took the time to thoroughly explain the treatment options available to me. The entire process, from the initial consultation to the final adjustments, was seamless and efficient. The office itself is modern, and comfortable, which added to the overall positive atmosphere. I am delighted with the results and can confidently recommend this practice to anyone seeking top-notch oral care and a fantastic smile transformation.
The best dentist and dental clinic I’ve ever been. The staff are friendly and accommodating from the time I walk into the moment I walk out of their clinic. I had my root canal and dental crown done and as expected it was exceptional and the procedure was done professionally.
They also made sure that I am comfortable while they are doing the procedure. I received an exceptional service and Dr. Mohamad Khorshid is really great! If you are looking for a dentist and dental clinic to take care of you, I would highly recommend Mississauga Smiles Dentistry. I’m a regular client since 2018 and they really took good care of all my other dental needs.
