Sedation Dentistry

Dental visits do not have to be stressful. At Middle Creek Dental, we offer gentle sedation dentistry with nitrous oxide to help patients from Caldwell, ID and the greater Treasure Valley relax and feel comfortable during treatment.
Located just a short drive away in Nampa, ID, our team combines modern technology with a calm, caring approach so you can get the care you need without fear or anxiety.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses safe, doctor-controlled methods to help you feel relaxed in the dental chair. At Middle Creek Dental, we offer:
- Nitrous oxide sedation (also called “laughing gas”)
Nitrous oxide is a mild form of sedation that is inhaled through a small, comfortable mask placed over your nose. You stay awake and able to respond, but you feel calm, less worried, and often less aware of the sounds and sensations around you.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is an excellent option for many patients from Caldwell and surrounding communities who experience:
- Dental anxiety or fear about treatment
- Past negative dental experiences
- Sensitive teeth or gums
- Strong gag reflex
- Difficulty sitting still for longer appointments
- Multiple procedures planned in a single visit
If you have been putting off dental care because of fear or discomfort, nitrous oxide sedation can make it much easier to get the treatment you need.
How Nitrous Oxide Sedation Works
- Before your visit: We review your medical history, discuss your concerns, and determine whether nitrous oxide is right for you.
- During your appointment:A small mask is placed over your nose.
- You breathe a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen.
- Within a few minutes, you feel relaxed and less anxious.
- Local anesthetic is still used as needed to keep you comfortable and pain-free.
- After your appointment:We turn off the nitrous oxide and give you pure oxygen.
- The effects wear off quickly—most patients feel normal within minutes.
- In many cases, you can safely drive yourself home after treatment.
Is Nitrous Oxide Sedation Safe?
Yes. Nitrous oxide has been safely used in dentistry for many years. At Middle Creek Dental, your Caldwell-area sedation dentist:
- Carefully controls and monitors the amount of gas you receive
- Continuously checks your comfort and response
- Follows strict safety and infection control standards
Most healthy adults and many children are good candidates, but we will always review your health history and medications to make sure sedation is appropriate for you.
