Sedation Dentistry Keokuk
Conquer Your Dental Fears
It’s common for Dr. Steve and our team at Keokuk Family Dentistry to see patients who suffer from dental anxiety. When it causes a person to avoid essential oral healthcare, it can lead to serious problems down the line. This is why we offer sedation dentistry in the form of nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation. Instead of stressing about dental visits, call our office to inquire about which sedation method might be right for you.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation
Nitrous oxide produces a euphoric and relaxing state that you can fully embrace in the treatment chair. The odorless and colorless gas is administered through a nasal mask. Within minutes, you should notice the fast-acting effects that make you increasingly comfortable. Once the gas is turned off and the mask is removed, you will feel like your usual self and can resume normal activities after your appointment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation offers a more profound sense of relaxation compared to nitrous oxide. It requires taking a prescribed pill before your appointment that will cause you to become extremely relaxed before you even sit in the chair. It can be tremendously helpful for more involved or lengthy procedures. After Dr. Steve finishes your dental work, you will need someone to drive you home to ensure your safety.
