Many people are most concerned with the idea of getting anesthesia injected before a procedure. Perhaps they’ve had a bad experience in the past, or they have just always had an overwhelming fear of shots. No matter what the reason, we may have a solution. Oraqix is a topical anesthetic that can replace the traditional local anesthesia injection for some patients (depending upon the procedure needed). Ask us about this option, and you may be able to have a completely worry-free experience at your Pella, IA dentist office.
You have most likely heard of “laughing gas,” also known as nitrous oxide. Laughing gas is a funny (no pun intended) name for this compound, because most people don’t actually feel like chuckling as a result of exposure. Rather, nitrous oxide can make your dental visits so relaxed and comfortable that you find yourself looking forward to the next appointment.
Nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask that covers your nose. The gas will affect you almost immediately, with a warm, calm feeling sweeping over you. Concerns and anxiety will be replaced by happiness, and less physical sensitivity so that you don’t feel uncomfortable with the procedure at hand. This is a safe enhancement that will not give you any lasting effects. Most patients are able to resume normal activity immediately following their procedure.
