Sedation Dentistry
in Northeast Brampton
Dental anxiety is common at every age, and it should never keep you from care. At Gardenbrooke Dental in Northeast Brampton, we offer nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation so you can stay calm and comfortable during treatment. Our dentists are trained to focus on your comfort at every visit.
Sedation Options
- Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): inhaled through a small mask. It takes effect within minutes, you stay conscious and the effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed.
- Oral conscious sedation: a prescribed medication taken before your appointment. You remain awake and responsive but deeply relaxed, often with little or no memory of the procedure.
General anaesthesia is a different level of sedation offered in hospital settings and is not offered at our clinic.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety.
- People with a sensitive gag reflex.
