Sedation Options
Options Designed Around Your Needs
Western Loudoun Dental offers two sedation options for appropriate patients:
- Nitrous Sedation
Nitrous oxide, sometimes called laughing gas, can help patients feel more relaxed during dental treatment. - Oral Sedation
Oral sedation uses medication to help patients feel more relaxed during dental care. Our team will provide instructions before your appointment when appropriate.
