At Channel Islands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we believe that dental appointments should be as stress-free and pleasant as possible. Understanding the anxiety many feel about dental procedures, we proudly offer Nitrous Sedation, a time-tested solution to put your nerves at ease. Dr. Jesse Lanzon and Dr. Reynaldo Rivera have seen firsthand the incredible benefits this technique brings to their patients from not only Camarillo but also surrounding areas such as Camarillo Heights, Mission Oaks, Village at the Park, and even as far as Leisure Village and Santa Rosa Valley.
For those unfamiliar, nitrous sedation, often called "laughing gas", is a safe and reliable method to ensure patients remain calm and relaxed throughout their dental procedures. Ideal for both adults and children, it's a go-to choice for many who may feel apprehensive or just wish for a more serene dental experience. The easy administration and quick dissipation of effects post-procedure have made it a popular choice across all dental procedures, whether it's crowns, dentures, or more.
Nitrous oxide is administered via a small mask that fits comfortably over your nose. As you breathe in the sweet-scented gas, you'll begin to feel a wave of relaxation wash over you. Rest assured, while you'll feel at ease, you remain conscious and can communicate with Dr. Lanzon, Dr. Rivera, and our dental team throughout the procedure.
Absolutely! Nitrous sedation has a long-standing record of safety across age groups. Before recommending it, our experts, Dr. Lanzon and Dr. Rivera, review each patient's medical history, ensuring it's the right fit for you. So, whether you're an adult, a teenager, or looking out for your child's comfort, nitrous sedation can be a viable and safe option.
Beyond its primary function of calming nerves, nitrous sedation can also make lengthy procedures feel shorter. It can aid those who have a hard time sitting still or find dental procedures overwhelming. The biggest benefit? Leaving our Camarillo office with a positive experience and possibly even looking forward to your next visit!
While the effects of nitrous oxide wear off quickly after the mask is removed, for safety reasons, we advise all patients to arrange transportation post-procedure. It's always better to ensure you're completely alert before heading back into your day.
