For dentistry performed under oral sedation, Dr. Apter can prescribe an oral sedative for you to take prior to your appointment, so you’ll be feeling relaxed by the time your appointment begins. We may also administer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) during your appointment should you wish to enhance the calming effects of the oral sedative even further. We will always do our best to ensure that you are feeling comfortable the entire time, and will monitor your vital signs and make adjustments as needed.
