Q: I really don't like visiting the dentist. Is there anything you can do to help me relax?

A: We use nitrous oxide, a mild inhaled anesthetic which reduces anxiety for many people. Nitrous oxide combined with careful, slow, compassionate local anesthesia technique is very satisfactory for most patients. We can also prescribe oral sedation (for example, Halcion, Ativan) for those patients who need it.
