Comfort-First Care

Anxiety-Free Dentistry

If dental anxiety has kept you from getting the care you need, you're not alone — and you're not out of options. At Broberg Family Dental, Dr. Broberg is certified in sedation dentistry and offers multiple options to ensure your comfort at every visit.

Whether it's a gentle wave of relaxation from nitrous oxide or a deeper state of calm from oral sedation, we'll find the right approach to help you feel completely at ease. Many of our most anxious patients tell us that sedation dentistry changed everything for them — transforming dental visits from something they dreaded into something they could genuinely handle.

💨

Nitrous Oxide

Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is inhaled through a small mask and produces a calm, relaxed feeling within minutes. You remain fully conscious and responsive. The effects wear off quickly — you can drive yourself home afterward.

Oral Sedation

A prescription medication taken before your appointment produces a deeper state of relaxation. You'll feel drowsy and deeply calm, though you'll remain conscious. This option is ideal for patients with significant anxiety or for longer procedures.

We assess every patient individually to determine the best sedation option. Your medical history, anxiety level, and the nature of your procedure all factor into our recommendation. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Both nitrous oxide and oral sedation have excellent safety profiles when administered by a trained dentist. Dr. Broberg is certified in oral sedation and monitors patients throughout every procedure. We review your complete medical history before recommending any sedation option.
With the sedation options we offer, you remain conscious throughout the procedure. Nitrous oxide creates a relaxed, euphoric feeling while you stay fully aware. Oral sedation produces a deeper state of relaxation — you'll be drowsy but responsive and able to follow instructions.
Sedation is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, difficulty sitting still for extended periods, or anyone undergoing a lengthy or complex procedure. It's also helpful for patients who need multiple treatments completed in a single visit.
Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes after the mask is removed — you can drive yourself home. Oral sedation effects can last several hours, so you'll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
No. Sedation works alongside local anesthesia to ensure you feel no pain during your procedure. The sedation manages anxiety and discomfort, while the local anesthetic prevents any sensation in the treatment area.
