Oral Sedation Dentistry in Toronto | North Queen Dental

Welcome to North Queen Dental, your premier destination for comfortable and anxiety-free dental care in Toronto.

That's why we specialize in providing sedation dentistry in Toronto, ensuring that every visit to our office is relaxed, comfortable, and stress-free for our patients.

Our sedation dentistry services include:

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A safe and effective option for mild sedation, nitrous oxide helps patients relax during their dental treatment while remaining fully conscious and responsive.
Oral Sedation: Administered in the form of a pill or liquid, oral sedation induces a state of deep relaxation, making it an excellent choice for patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation: Delivered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation offers the deepest level of sedation and is ideal for patients undergoing extensive procedures or those with severe dental phobia.

Regardless of the sedation method chosen, our dedicated team will monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your safety and well-being. We are committed to providing a calm and supportive environment where you can receive the dental care you need without fear or discomfort.

How long does oral sedation last?

We will ensure your medication level will cover your entire treatment, whether that is one hour and even up to four hours.

How is your medication chosen?

There are many different types of oral sedation medication. We will determine the type and level that is best for you. After thorough discussion, we will prescribe a sedative that will be most effective for your needs and wants. Factors that we consider together are:

Your medical history – Different people react differently with oral sedation medications. A thorough review of your health and your current medications is crucial as we need to be able to predict any possible interactions and how the drug will be metabolized.
The length of your treatment–Ahead of time, we will discuss your treatment plan, and we will give you a good idea of the duration of each treatment. With how well oral sedation removes anxiety and helps with relaxation, you may choose to have multiple treatments completed at once. Many of our patients prefer this – one appointment over multiple.
The comfort level we need to achieve – We’ll talk about your level of anxiety or fear, your past experiences, and what we can provide based on what you need to make you feel comfortable.

Before- and after-treatment care

Before you receive your prescription from us for oral sedation, we will have a good discussion about your feelings about having dental treatment and about your overall health. If oral sedation is a good option for you, and if you choose to proceed with oral sedation, you will take the pill at home at a set time (usually about an hour before your appointment). You’ll begin to feel the effects even before you arrive at the practice. This is because we need the medication to be fully effective by the time we provide your care. The medication will last throughout your appointment, and the effects will not wear off before you leave our practice. Because of this, you must be aware – and we’ll remind you when we write your prescription –that it’s mandatory you arrange to have someone bring you to our practice and be there to take you home after your care is complete.
