Routine cleanings are gentle, so we typically don’t need to “put patients to sleep” for them.
However, if you have significant anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or past negative experiences, please tell us — your comfort matters.

We offer several options to help you relax:

• Laughing gas (nitrous oxide)
• Oral sedation for anxiety reduction
• IV sedation, which allows you to be completely asleep

For oral or IV sedation, we do require a consent form and a responsible adult to drive you home afterward.

We’ll always tailor the experience to your comfort level. If something feels overwhelming, we’ll work with you to make it easier.
