You Can Relax with Sedation Dentistry

Do you have a fear of going to the dentist? Perhaps you or one of your family members suffers from dental anxiety? Sometimes people with a sensitive gag reflex avoid the dentist because of a fear of choking. If you avoid going to the dentist at all costs, you should ask your dentist about sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry using nitrous oxide helps reduce anxiety, helps control pain and allows it’s recipients to be relaxed in the dentist chair. This safe and popular form of anesthesia is effective and commonly used by reputable dentists.

Nitrous oxide is a colorless and almost odorless gas with a slightly sweet scent. Dental professionals have used nitrous oxide to help dental patients manage their dental fears for nearly 150 years. Often referred to as laughing gas, the way that nitrous oxide relieves dental anxiety is no laughing matter. This effective anesthesia option is easy for dentists to administer and simple for patients to receive. Even the most fearful of dental patients can receive relief from nitrous oxide. There are no shots and it is not uncomfortable to receive this form of sedation dentistry. While sitting in a dental chair, a dentist places a small mask over the patient’s nose and the gas is slowly administered while the patient breathes regularly. Once inhaled, a patient begins to instantly feel relaxed, yet remains awake. A patient under nitrous oxide is able to communicate with their dentist, while remaining in an extremely relaxed state.

The beauty of nitrous oxide is even though it is extremely effective during a dental procedure; the affects of the gas quickly wear off once the mask is removed. Patients who receive nitrous are able to function perfectly, drive themselves home or back to work after their procedure or appointment. Nitrous oxide is a proven method for reducing dental anxiety.

If you fear going to the dentist, find a dentist like Dr. Mitzi Morris who offers sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide. With sedation dentistry you can relax at the thought of achieving a worry free beautiful smile.

  • Dr. Morris is an excellent dentist. Her ability to relate to her patients makes her a stand-out amongst those in her profession. She practices dentistry with superior technique and care. Her staff is friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I feel she hires only the best! One special mention: I suffer from panic attacks at times- along with claustrophobia. Dr. Morris is the first dentist I have ever had who helped calm my fears. Thus, my experience exceeded expectations! Great service!

  • Definitely would recommend Dr. Morris to anyone. She has been my dentist for over 8 years! Dr. Morris is extremely personable and is serious about the completing the best care possible. Great established dental team! Very accommodating to your schedule.

  • Great and very educational experience. Compared to my last two dentists this experience blows them both out of the water. The staff is very friendly, and very helpful. I had to go in for a total of four visits a few weeks apart from each other. They made me feel very comfortable the entire time and kept making sure I was pleased. Getting a deep cleaning went very smoothly. It was also brought to my attention that the way I was flossing was incorrect. And have since changed methods. I worked specifically with Dr. Morris. She was very nice, and took the time to explain things. Which is a huge plus for me. Dr. Morris and the staff members worked effortlessly together. I was comfortable enough to sit back and relax, strangely enough, while having cavities drilled and fillings put in. Billing and scheduling appointments, as well as follow up for confirmation of upcoming appointments was very easy. I will say my favorite part of the experience was how friendly of an environment the staff has created. That alone is deserving of a 5 star review, and the rest is honestly icing on the cake. I highly recommend this practice on all fronts and will continue using them!

  • I transferred from a long-term and very good relationship with my former dentist because of a move, and I was a little apprehensive about a new dentist. Dr. Morris has been great. She is friendly, patient-concerned and the office is new, comfortable and clean. Everyone seems to enjoy working there. I feel like I'm in good hands!

  • Dr. Morris and her staff are very professional. Additionally, she as well as her staff have an excellent "bedside manner." The office is new and well equipped. If one has an appointment and an earlier one opens up, Dr. Morris offers it to her patients as she did with my last appointment.

  • I have never met a staff so nice and charming. This staff will make you feel comfortable and relaxed in Dr. Morris's Spa like office and everyone is professional and approachable too. Andrea R. explained the process of my appointment and procedures and is definitely a highly-educated and thorough dental hygenist -- SHE IS A ROCKSTAR. I'm so glad that Dr. Morris and her dental team have been my "go-to" for the last 5 years, and I wont be going anywhere else! Overall - A++ Dr. Morris...highly recommended to my family and friends!!!

  • I've been a patient of Dr. Mitzi Morris for many years, and recommend her without reservation. The office is modern. clean and spacious. The staff has always been welcoming and very helpful. And the women who work for her as dental technicians are fantastic; they do a professional and effective deep cleaning, but with a careful, gentle touch. It is clear to me that Dr. Morris reads her professional journals and upgrades her practice to stay very current with the latest best practices in dentistry. (I have had some dentists who stopped updating their practices after leaving dental school!) With Dr. Morris you can count on receiving the very latest dental technology. Her prices are very fair, and I have never been surprised by an unexpected cost or had problems with insurance not covering services rendered.

  • I have never experienced an office so down to earth, so outgoing and so willing to satisfy. If you've grown to dread the dentist then lay down your sword and give this office a shot.
