Sedation dentists
Sedation dentists undertake training that enables them to
administer sedation that can help their patients feel more relaxed and
comfortable in the chair. Sedation dentists are regular, every-day gentle and
caring dentists who recognize that anxiety and fear can keep their patients
from receiving the care they need.

In his West Haven and Milford CT dental offices, Dr. Joseph
Tartagni of Shoreline Dental Care uses nitrous oxide or oral
conscious sedation to help you achieve a positive dental
experience. Oral sedation measures offer a nervous patient a dose of
anti-anxiety medication before their procedure begins. Patients undergoing
dental procedure using oral conscious sedation are monitored throughout the
procedure, though they might not remember much about it! Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, encourages
relaxation during treatment without causing lingering side effects. Nitrous
oxide is most commonly used for patients with mild anxiety undergoing a short procedure.
