For some people, a trip to the dentist is a very stressful time. Dental phobia and fear of pain are not uncommon in dental patients. For people who need help relaxing in the dentist chair, sedation dentistry is available.

• Oral sedation. Taken the night before or the day of the appointment, oral sedatives relax but are not for pain relief.
• IV sedation. This effective, safe method causes little or no discomfort and often little or no memory of the procedure.
• Nitrous oxide. “Laughing gas” is inhaled through a mask to relax, with a local anesthetic used to eliminate pain.

Dr. Harris has spent many hours completing the required training to be able to offer our patients all of the above sedation options. He has completed hundreds of successful IV sedation cases with great feedback from patients. Main Street Dental Center makes your dental visit as comfortable as possible so you can enjoy the benefits of regular dentist visits and a clean oral bill of health.
