Sedation Dentistry with Dr. Estrada
Visiting the dentist isn't easy for everyone. If the thought of sitting in the dentist's chair makes you nervous, uncomfortable, or anxious, you're not alone. Many adults experience dental phobia, making them less likely to visit the dentist as often as they should. Fortunately, there's a simple way to combat dental anxiety. Dr. Jaime Estrada offers sedation dentistry at his Hudson and Port Richey locations to help nervous patients feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible.
Sedation Dentistry Makes Every Appointment Stress-Free
The goal of sedation dentistry is to help you relax during your dental appointment. There are several ways to achieve this relaxation, including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is the most popular form because it is inhaled through a mask, making it non-invasive and easy to control. The effects of laughing gas begin quickly and wear off just as fast, allowing you to drive yourself home and continue your day as usual, but with a more enjoyable dental experience!
Oral conscious sedation is another viable option, involving taking a small sedative pill before your appointment. A trusted family member or friend will drive you to and from your appointment to ensure safety. The sedative keeps you conscious but entirely relaxed and at ease, eliminating any feelings of worry or anxiety.
Revitalize Your Smile Without the Worry
Let Dr. Estrada and his team help you overcome dental anxiety with professional and reliable sedation dentistry. Lasting oral health significantly contributes to your overall well-being, but you can only maintain it with regular dentist appointments. Dr. Estrada provides the sedation you need to enjoy those appointments without any anxiety or discomfort. Call 727-869-3886 today to schedule your first appointment.

It depends on the type of sedation. With nitrous oxide (laughing gas), you remain fully conscious but relaxed. Oral sedation keeps you awake but deeply relaxed, while IV sedation may cause you to sleep through the procedure.
If you receive nitrous oxide only, you can typically drive yourself home. However, with oral or IV sedation, you will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for a few hours.
