Sedation Dentistry in Washougal
Comfortable, Stress Free Dental Care
At Harmony Dental Smiles, we understand that dental anxiety is real. Our sedation dentistry options help you feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable while receiving the care you need.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Gentle Dentistry Designed Around Your Comfort
Sedation dentistry uses safe, carefully monitored medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. You remain awake and responsive, but feel at ease and free from fear or discomfort.
Whether you experience mild nervousness or severe dental anxiety, sedation can make your visit smooth and stress free.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry may be ideal if you:
• Feel anxious or fearful about dental visits
• Have a strong gag reflex
• Need multiple procedures in one appointment
• Have sensitive teeth
• Struggle with sitting still for long periods
• Had a negative dental experience in the past
We believe no one should avoid dental care because of anxiety.
Our Sedation Options
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide helps you relax quickly. The effects wear off shortly after treatment, allowing you to resume normal activities.
Oral Sedation
Oral medication taken before your appointment helps you feel deeply relaxed while remaining awake.
