At London Square Dental, we understand that dental anxiety is real and affects millions of Canadians. Our sedation dentistry options allow you to receive essential dental care without the stress, fear, or discomfort that may have kept you from the dentist. Whether you need a routine cleaning or a complex procedure, we have a sedation solution to match your needs.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Nitrous oxide is a mild, inhaled sedative that helps you feel calm and relaxed during your appointment. Delivered through a small mask over your nose, it takes effect within minutes and wears off just as quickly. You remain fully conscious and can communicate with your dentist throughout the procedure. Because recovery is almost immediate, you can drive yourself home afterward.
Oral Sedation
For patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety, oral sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation. You take a prescribed sedative pill before your appointment, which produces a drowsy, tranquil state. While you remain conscious and can respond to instructions, most patients remember very little of the procedure. A companion must drive you to and from your appointment.
Who Benefits from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is not only for anxious patients. It is also an excellent option for those with a sensitive gag reflex, difficulty sitting still for extended periods, or complex treatment plans that require longer appointments. Patients with special needs, physical disabilities, or past traumatic dental experiences also find sedation helps them receive the care they deserve.
Your Safety Is Our Priority
Before recommending sedation, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history, allergies, and current medications. During your procedure, our team monitors your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels continuously. We follow all Alberta dental sedation guidelines and maintain advanced training in sedation protocols to ensure your visit is as safe as it is comfortable.

What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective technique that helps patients be completely relaxed and comfortable during dental appointments. It's especially useful if you:
How You May Feel
Most patients remember nothing about their treatment. A few will remember a little, usually at the end. You will need someone to bring you to our office and MUST have someone take you home afterwards.
Safety of Sedation
We use oral sedation because of its safety. We use monitoring equipment to monitor your pulse and blood pressure. You'll be done before you know it, completely unaware of the time passing, totally relaxed.
