 Many Watchung cosmetic dentistry patients have discovered the benefits of anxiety-free dentistry (sometimes called sedation dentistry). There are three main types of sedation dentistry options available in the Watchung area.
Inhalation
Nitrous Oxide, sometimes called ‘laughing gas‘ has been used in Watchung cosmetic dental offices for over a century, because, in many ways, it is an ideal sedative. It begins to work quickly, but then wears off as soon as the Watchung dental patient stops inhaling it. Breathing nitrous oxide can produce warm tingling sensations and a feeling of euphoria.
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedatives take longer to work than nitrous, but produce a calmer state for many nervous Watchung dental patients. Triazolam and diazepam are common oral sedatives used in dentistry. These sedative medications are routinely prescribed by physicians for anxiety, insomnia, and muscle spasms.
Oral sedation is a good sedation choice for anxious patients who require a lengthy dental procedure. After the dental visit, it takes a while for the medication to wear off. A Watchung conscious sedation patient should not plan to drive home after undergoing oral sedation.
IV Sedation
Like nitrous, intra-venous sedation starts working immediately as the sedative enters the bloodstream. IV sedation usually produces the deepest state of relaxation. IV patients can dream away the entire procedure and wake up calm and relaxed.
To schedule a sedation consultation, call Advanced Dentistry to schedule an appointment with dental health specialist Dr. Ralph Reilly at 732-564-6037. We have the answer for your dental anxiety.

Pain isn’t fun. Your Middlesex NJ dentist knows this, and that is why the dental team at Advanced Dentistry have made patient comfort a top priority. In conjunction with creating a relaxing environment, your dentist has various medications that can reduce and even eliminate pain associated with different dental procedures to give you a more enjoyable experience.
Some of the most common pain-relieving medications used in Middlesex NJ dentist offices and around the country are topical anesthetics. These are swabbed directly onto mouth tissue so they only numb the very surface layers. Topical anesthetics can reduce the pain of mouth sores, or they can be applied to prepare the mouth for an injection.
Local anesthetics are injected into mouth tissue (usually the gums) to block the nerve sensations to specific areas of the mouth. Middlesex NJ dentists numb the mouth in this way before filling cavities, treating gum disease, or before certain cosmetic dentistry procedures.
More involved dental procedures may necessitate the need for nitrous oxide or even general anesthesia. Ask us about sedation dentistry and oral conscious sedation.
It is very common for your dentist to recommend an over the counter analgesic to relieve pain after a dental visit. These medications include aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen.
Because your Middlesex NJ cosmetic dentist will most likely use a pain reliever during the dental visit or prescribe something for you to take after the treatment, make sure you jot down a complete list of medications you are taking, including herbal supplements, before each appointment.
I’m Dr. Ralph Reilly and I want Middlesex NJ area residents to be informed about their dental care, especially as it pertains to pain relief during dental treatment. If you are in the Middlesex NJ area and are looking for quality dental care, please contact my office today at 732-564-6037. Our world class staff would be happy to talk to you about dental implants, veneers, teeth whitening, and the other services we offer.

 Picture the following scenario: You are stretched out in a chair at your Middlesex NJ cosmetic dentist office holding a remote as you try to tune into your favorite local radio station. A woman clips a paper bib around your neck. Someone switches on a bright overhead light and you see latex-gloved hands moving toward your open mouth. You close your eyes.
As you read this, does your heart start to race? Are your palms sweaty?
If so, you may be a good candidate for sedation dentistry. Oral sedation benefits nervous dental patients in Middlesex NJ every day. Moderate sedation is used for all types of cosmetic dental procedures such as root canals, dental implants, and wisdom teeth removal. If you are considering extensive restorative or cosmetic dental work, conscious sedation may allow your Middlesex NJ dentist to complete multiple procedures in a single visit.
Don’t let fear prevent you from getting the dental treatment you need. Schedule a visit with Dr. Ralph Reilly to learn about conscious sedation dentistry.
