Smile Source North Side offers personalized sedation dentistry services near Spokane and beyond, for patients who need extra support to stay comfortable during their treatment.<a href=\"\/north-side-wa\/about-us\/meet-our-doctors\/\"> Our dentists<\/a> will determine the best sedation level for you, depending on your health history, needs and goals, so you can enjoy a relaxed, stress-free experience with us at Smile Source North Side!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Anesthesia at Smile Source North Side<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-15717\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilesourcespokane.com\/north-side-wa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/sedation-dentistry-spokane-wa-north.jpeg\" alt=\"\">Our team can provide anesthesia for complex procedures or to alleviate discomfort and dental anxiety. Local anesthesia is typically administered for less invasive procedures or when the patient will be awake during surgery. Anesthesia is considered safe and effective for patients of all ages. Our team always carefully reviews patients' medical history to determine the healthiest plan for treatment and sedation dentistry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">At Smile Source North Side, we also offer various dentistry options, including:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Oral Conscious Sedation<\/h3>\n<p>Smile Source offers oral conscious sedation in the form of a pill to help anxious patients relax during treatment. This sedation can be used as a mild or moderate sedative, providing varying levels of relaxation. With mild sedation, patients feel drowsy but are still conscious and responsive. Moderate sedation may induce a deeper level of relaxation, sometimes causing patients to fall into a light sleep. The type of sedation used depends on the patient's level of anxiety and the complexity of the <a href=\"\/north-side-wa\/our-services\/\">dental procedure<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Nitrous Oxide<\/h3>\n<p>Nitrous Oxide is a safe and effective option for patients wanting to relax during dental appointments. It can be used for patients of all ages. Nitrous Oxide is administered by placing a mask over the nose, providing immediate relaxation. The effects wear off faster after the procedure. Most patients are good candidates for Nitrous Oxide, which can be requested anytime during the dental visit. However, having someone accompany you to your appointment is crucial as you may be unable to drive afterward if you need help.<\/p>\n<h3>IV Sedation<\/h3>\n<p>IV sedation is offered to patients with extreme dental anxiety or those undergoing <a href=\"\/north-side-wa\/our-services\/oral-surgery\/\">oral surgery<\/a> or a more complex procedure. It involves administering anti-anxiety medication directly into the veins to promote relaxation and gradually induce a sleep-like state for a more comfortable procedure. Patients often experience relaxation and temporary memory loss, and our dentists will adjust the medication as needed during treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After your procedure, the IV is removed, and patients are taken to recovery rooms to wake up. Patients will need to have someone available to accompany the patient home after their appointment with IV sedation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Learn More About Sedation Dentistry in Spokane<\/h4>\n<p>Relax during your dental appointment with safe sedation at Smile Source North Side!
