Bernardsville Dentist Serving Morristown, Basking Ridge, Mendham, Chester, and Far Hills, NJ
Anesthesia for any dental procedure is derived from one of the following choices:
- Local anesthetics: Administered by injection and the same used in fillings or extractions with general dentistry.
- Nitrous oxide or “laughing gas”: An inhaled anesthesia used in cases where the patient needs more relaxation beyond local anesthesia.
- Conscious sedation combined with local anesthetics: A patient receives medication that creates a drowsy and relaxed feeling, after which a local anesthetic is used.
- General anesthesia: A medication used to place the patient into a deep sleep.
