Dental sedation is a safe and effective practice used by dental professionals to help patients relax during dental procedures. At Serenity Dental Studio in Round Rock, TX, we offer nitrous sedation and conscious sedation, designed to alleviate anxiety and discomfort. Nitrous sedation, commonly known as laughing gas, is inhaled through a mask, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. Conscious sedation is administered orally and allows the patient to remain awake but in a state of deep relaxation. Both methods are carefully monitored by Dr. Hersheal Aggarwal and our experienced team, ensuring patient safety and comfort.

The Benefits Of Dental Sedation
Comfort
Dental sedation can significantly enhance your comfort during dental procedures. It can alleviate feelings of discomfort and help you relax, making your visit to the dentist a more pleasant experience. This is particularly beneficial during longer procedures, where physical discomfort can be a concern.
Reduces Anxiety
One of the main advantages of dental sedation is its ability to help reduce anxiety. Many people experience dental anxiety, which can prevent them from seeking necessary dental care. Dental sedation can help to ease these feelings of anxiety, enabling you to receive the dental treatment you need.
Efficiency
Dental sedation can also lead to more efficient dental visits. When patients are relaxed and comfortable, dentists can work more effectively, often completing procedures in less time. This can result in fewer appointments, saving you time in the long run.
The Dental Sedation Treatment Process
Consultation
The first step in the dental sedation process at Serenity Dental Studio is a consultation with Dr. Aggarwal. During this appointment, he will review your medical history, discuss your anxiety levels, and explain the sedation options available to you.
Preparing For Sedation
On the day of your procedure, you will be provided with specific instructions to follow before your sedation. These instructions will vary depending on the type of sedation you will be receiving. For example, if you will be receiving conscious sedation, you may be instructed to avoid eating or drinking for several hours before your appointment.
Administering Sedation
During your dental procedure, the chosen form of sedation will be administered. If you are receiving nitrous sedation, a mask will be placed over your nose, and you will breathe in the gas. If you are receiving conscious sedation, the sedative will be administered orally. Throughout the procedure, your vital signs will be closely monitored to ensure your safety.
