Sedation Dentistry in Chapel Hill, NC
Depending on the kind of procedure and a thorough evaluation of your vitals and medical history, Dr. Furgurson will determine what type of sedation is right for you. We may offer a local anesthetic to help numb the designated area.
Patients may feel minimal pressure or discomfort because only a specific area of the mouth is numb. Dr. Furgurson also offers nitrous oxide or commonly known as laughing gas. Nitrous oxide is administered through a mask. The effects of nitrous oxide only occur when the mask is on. Once removed, the effects of nitrous oxide diminish.
Although sedation dentistry is a great tool to help beat your dental fear, finding a dentist you trust is also a great way to relieve some of that fear. Dr. Furgurson is an experienced, trusted dentist in the Chapel Hill Community.
