Dental Procedures: Adult Conscious Sedation - Redwood City and Palo Alto Area
It is not uncommon for patients to avoid making appointments or receiving necessary care due to dental anxiety and fear of pain during their treatment. To ease the physical and mental stress of dental visits, Dr. Manzo provides Adult Conscious Sedation to patients age 18 and older. Dr. Manzo is California certified to perform conscious sedation dentistry with a pill, and combines it with nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) to gently and safely ease patients into a totally relaxed state. Treatments with sedation dentistry are comfortable and quick, and the effects of nitrous oxide dissipate shortly after Dr. Manzo's work is complete.

What is Adult Conscious Sedation
If you feel anxious about visiting the dentist – or avoid seeking dental treatment because you fear discomfort in the dentist’s chair – sedation dentistry may be an excellent option. Dr. Arthur Manzo provides a number of sedation dentistry options, each of which helps reduce or eliminate patients’ anxiety before their dental procedure. When you secure our services, we will help you select the option that will best meet your unique needs.
What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedatives to minimize a patient’s anxiety before or at the beginning of a dental procedure. Dental sedatives induce a relaxed state in which patients are often blissfully unaware of their dental procedure. Depending on the type of medication a patient selects, the sedative effect may be more pronounced; some sedatives simply decrease patients’ awareness of anxiety, while others induce unconsciousness during treatment. As such, sedation dentistry can be a life-changing option for patients whose dental anxiety makes it difficult to obtain dental care.
