If you're one of the estimated 30 to 40 million people in the United States who experience dental anxiety, the office of Dr. Amanda S. Crumpton is here to help. We understand that fear or anxiety about visiting the dentist can prevent you from receiving the care you need, so we are committed to ensuring your comfort. Our practice offers safe and controlled conscious oral sedation and Nitrous Oxide—commonly known as "laughing gas"—to help alleviate anxiety and make your dental visits less stressful. We do not offer any other type of sedation.
Dental anxiety or phobia can lead to missed checkups and neglected oral care, which can negatively impact your overall health. Fortunately, Nitrous Oxide sedation helps anxious patients and those who struggle to sit through treatments to maintain their oral health with ease. This sedation method induces a deep sense of calm and relaxation, making dental care a more comfortable and positive experience.
Don’t let fear stand in the way of a healthy, beautiful smile! As skilled and compassionate providers, we will guide you through the process, explain how Nitrous Oxide sedation works, and answer all your questions. Nitrous Oxide is a safe and effective option that wears off quickly after your procedure, allowing you to leave the office fully aware and refreshed. You can even drive yourself home after treatment.
At Dr. Amanda S. Crumpton’s office, we are dedicated to delivering the highest quality care in a comfortable and caring environment. To learn more about our services and how Nitrous Oxide sedation can help you, please give us a call today.
Nitrous Oxide sedation is an excellent option for those who feel anxious about visiting the dentist or have specific fears related to dental procedures. This mild sedative, inhaled through a small mask over the nose, helps patients relax, eliminating discomfort, pain, and preoperative anxiety. With Nitrous Oxide, you can enjoy a more comfortable, stress-free dental experience, often with little to no memory of the procedure.
Our office ensures that every patient feels comfortable and well-cared for. We always use a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area thoroughly, so you don’t feel any discomfort during your procedure. If you need additional support to manage your anxiety, Nitrous Oxide sedation provides an effective solution.
There are several reasons why patients choose Nitrous Oxide sedation:
At Dr. Amanda S. Crumpton’s office, we provide skilled, personalized care tailored to your unique needs. Our dental team strives to make every visit a positive and informative experience, with Nitrous Oxide sedation playing a key role in helping patients overcome their dental anxiety.
Sedation dentistry offers patients with general anxiety or fears about a dental procedure the opportunity to have a more comfortable and stress-free experience. By utilizing safe and controlled sedation techniques, the patient is eased into a state of complete relaxation before the procedure. This approach eliminates discomfort, pain, and preoperative anxiety, and typically makes patients feel more at ease post-operatively, as they have little or no memory of the actual moment-to-moment procedure.
Local anesthesia involves an injection directly into or near the area where a procedure is being performed. While it effectively eliminates any sensation of pain in the targeted area, it does not address anxiety or stress related to the procedure. At the office of Amanda S. Crumpton, DMD PA, we exclusively offer Nitrous Oxide sedation to help ease anxiety and promote relaxation in addition to local anesthesia. This combination ensures that both the discomfort and stress associated with a procedure are minimized, providing a more comfortable experience for our patients.
We focus solely on Nitrous Oxide sedation, which is safe, effective, and quickly reversible, allowing patients to feel relaxed without lingering effects. We do not offer other forms of sedation, such as oral sedation, IV sedation, or general anesthesia.
Choosing the most appropriate method of sedation for a dental procedure depends on factors such as a patient's medical history and level of anxiety. At the office of Amanda S. Crumpton, DMD PA, we exclusively offer Nitrous Oxide sedation, also known as "laughing gas," to help our patients feel more at ease during their dental visits.
Nitrous Oxide is a mild sedative that is inhaled through a small mask placed over the nose. It has been a standard in dental sedation for decades due to its safety and effectiveness. The effects of Nitrous Oxide are almost immediate and wear off quickly once your procedure is completed, allowing you to resume your day without the need for an escort or any lingering sedation effects.
We do not offer oral sedation, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. Our focus on Nitrous Oxide ensures that our patients receive the safest and most controlled sedation experience possible during their dental care.
