What Is IV Nitrous Dentistry?

If you choose IV nitrous, your dentist will administer a medication intravenously. The medication works quickly as it's distributed through your bloodstream, and it helps you achieve a deep level of relaxation. Your dentist can also manually adjust the level of nitrous you receive during your procedure. IV nitrous is an excellent option for patients who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain tolerance, or have a sensitive gag reflex.

What Are the Benefits of Sleep Dentistry?

Dental nitrous is an ideal option for anyone who has anxiety or feels afraid about going to the dentist. Knowing that you can receive dental care without feeling nervous makes it much easier to visit your dentist regularly. If you’re afraid of needles and feel nervous about having your teeth or gums injected with numbing agents, dental nitrous can help you have a stress-free experience.

This means that even if you require extensive procedures, you can receive the treatment you need in fewer visits. Lastly, patients with a sensitive gag reflex can receive dental treatment comfortably.

Will My Insurance Cover Dental Nitrous?

For many patients, nitrous dentistry insurance coverage depends on whether it’s considered a medical necessity. For example, procedures requiring anesthesia may be covered under most policies. Ask your provider about which types of dental nitrous are covered.
