Sedation Dentistry
Houston, the Woodlands, Kingwood, Spring, and Conroe, Texas
There are many people who avoid going to the dentist for years or even decades because they are afraid of having dental work performed. It is because of patients who are anxious that Dr. Young offers sedation dentistry so that his patients receive the dental care they need.
Sedation dentistry offers the advantages of having dental procedures done while you are sedated. You may not even remember your visit. Many patients have been able to overcome their fear of the dentist when they find out about sedation dentistry. We hope to add you to this group.

Types of Sedation Dentistry
Dr. Young offers sedation in oral, or pill, form, as well as with nitrous oxide. If you and Dr. Young decide a pill is the best way for you to be sedated, you will take it prior to any dental work being performed.
Nitrous oxide is commonly known as "laughing gas." It puts you into a state of conscious sedation so that you are able to still communicate with Dr. Young and his team during your dental procedure. You are able to breathe normally, as well as follow commands. It is not uncommon to periodically drift off while under nitrous oxide sedation.
Nitrous Oxide Advantages
Some of the main advantages of nitrous oxide sedation are:
- Works quickly
- Best for those with mild to moderate dental anxiety
- Level of sedation is easy to control
- Available for all appointment lengths
- Patient recovers quickly
- Few if any side effects
- Patient may drive self to and from appointment
- Patient may return to normal activities very quickly
