At Wisdom Tooth Surgeons, we understand wisdom teeth removal can be a source of anxiety for many dental patients. We prioritize your comfort throughout the entire process, ensuring a relaxing and stress-free experience. Whether you’re experiencing pain, discomfort, or simply have wisdom teeth that need to be removed for preventative reasons, our team of experienced oral surgeons in Sacramento is here to guide you.
Nitrous Oxide & Intravenous (IV) Sedation
We offer a variety of sedation options to cater to each patient’s individual needs and anxiety level. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, offers a gentle, relaxing effect that can help alleviate nervousness. For patients who prefer a deeper state of relaxation, we provide oral conscious sedation taken in pill form before the procedure. This medication induces drowsiness and minimizes memory of the procedure itself. Finally, for patients with significant anxiety or undergoing complex wisdom teeth extractions, IV sedation is available. Administered through an intravenous line, IV sedation offers a deeper level of control and ensures a comfortable, stress-free experience.
During your consultation at our Sacramento practice, our experienced oral surgeons will discuss your specific situation and recommend the most suitable sedation option for your wisdom teeth removal. We understand that every patient’s needs are unique, and we’re committed to providing personalized care throughout the entire process.
Benefits of Anesthesia
- Pain Management Anesthesia effectively blocks pain signals, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
- Anxiety Reduction For those with dental anxiety, anesthesia can provide a sense of calm and relaxation, making the experience less stressful.
- Immobility Anesthesia helps prevent movement during the procedure, allowing the oral surgeon to work accurately and efficiently.
- Faster Healing Some studies suggest that patients who undergo anesthesia for wisdom tooth removal might experience quicker healing times.
