Sedation Options at Edgemont Dental
Nitrous oxide sedation A technique used to sedate anxious patients before and during dental procedures. It’s delivered through a nasal mask that puts many patients at ease from the start. Nitrous oxide is often called “laughing gas,” and the effects wear off within minutes of introducing pure oxygen and ceasing the use of the nitrous oxide.
Oral sedation requires taking a dentist-prescribed pill several hours before your appointment and again closer to the start. You’ll also need someone to drop you off and pick you up later, when the effect wears off. Oral sedation is an easy and safe way to feel comfortable during complex and long dental procedures.
Night Guards and Sports Guards
Whether you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) or if you simply want to protect your teeth while engaging in a sport or exercise, customized mouth guards from our practice can help you meet your needs. Night watches can offer many benefits while you sleep. This mouthpiece is designed to maintain a nice gap between your upper and lower teeth, helping to prevent nighttime grinding. Night guards minimize the risk of damage and wear-and-tear on the teeth.
If you are looking for a solution to protecting your smile from a sudden impact, a custom fitted sports guard would be a great option as it offers an effective barrier. We’ll take impressions of your teeth, and have your sports guard ready within days. A variety of colours are available.
