Relax With Soothing Sedation Options
Surveys reveal that most people experience at least some anxiety about their dental visits. If you fall into that category, you're in good hands with the team at Keene Dental. Our calming, soothing staff will listen carefully to your needs and concerns. We'll take time to answer any questions, so you have all the information you need to make good decisions about your dental care.
One of the best ways we have to beat dental anxiety is by offering three options for sedation. Your choices include:
- Inhaled Sedation With Laughing Gas - This mild sedative will instantly put you in a relaxed state and melt away your anxiety.
- Oral Conscious Sedation in Pill Form - You'll take a small pill before your appointment so that you feel completely at ease by the time your procedure begins.
- IV Sedation - An anesthesiologist will administer our deepest level of sedation, which will put you in a sleeplike state.
In addition to sedation options, you'll feel at home with private patient care rooms, Bose noise-canceling headphones, soft pillows, and cozy blankets.
