Sedation or happy gas in Sydney - Frequently Asked Questions

  • Before you decide to try sedation, it is important to discuss your options with your dentist. Make sure you understand the risks and benefits of sedation before proceeding. During the procedure, make sure to ask your dentist any questions or if anything feels uncomfortable while under sedation. It is also recommended that you have someone accompany you during and after the procedure to ensure you are safe and comfortable.

  • Yes, there are three levels of sedation: minimal (or anxiolysis), moderate (or conscious sedation) and deep (or unconscious). Each level has its own benefits and risks. Minimal sedation is used to relax patients who experience anxiety during dental procedures while deep sedation can make the procedure painless. Sophia Petta will work with you to determine the best level of sedation for your needs.

  • At Enlighten Dental, we understand dental anxiety and phobia. Talk to Dr. Petta about the best sedation option for your needs. Our goal is to provide a relaxing, calming experience that will allow you to relax during your appointment. With the right sedation, you can feel comfortable and secure during your dental treatment. Also offer happy gas (also as nitrous oxide) as an alternative form of sedation. While under this light sedation, you will remain conscious and in control but relaxed and comfortable. The effects of happy gas wear off quickly so you can go about your day soon after your appointment is finished. This form of sedation is often used for children who are getting dental treatment for the first time or for those who experience anxiety with dental treatments. Don't let fear keep you from getting the care you need.
