Helping you Relax

Are you fearful about coming in for treatment? Do you avoid appointments which can put your oral health into jeopardy?

At Banff Dental Care we offer our patients oral sedation as a solution to making your dentist visit more enjoyable and ensure that you receive the dental care that you need.

With oral sedation, we prescribe a small pill for you to take one hour prior to your appointment. Many of our patients choose to arrive one hour early to take this medication and wait in our comfortable waiting room. Alternatively, you can take the sedation pill at home, but you will need to have a companion escort you to our office as you will become very drowsy. Please note that it is unsafe to drive on this medication.

While you’re relaxed and comfortable, Dr. Martin and our experienced team will take care of your dental needs and monitor your vital signs. Sedation is very safe, and as its benefits are effective for several hours, you will also need a companion to accompany you home.

Nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) is another method of relaxing you that we offer to our nervous patients during visits.

If you are interested in sedation dentistry or nitrous oxide, please contact us and speak to our Treatment Coordinator.
