Dental anxiety is common, but it shouldn’t keep you from getting care. Dr. Molly Rodgers Dental in Edmonton offers dentistry for Beaumont residents, including nitrous oxide and oral sedation, so you can feel calm, comfortable, and supported during visits.
What Is Sedation Dentistry, and Who Is It For?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of safe, regulated medications to help patients relax during dental procedures. You are typically awake (except with sleep dentistry) but sedated enough to stay calm and comfortable.
This service is ideal for:
- Adults and children with dental anxiety or phobias
- Patients undergoing lengthy or complex procedures
- Individuals with a low pain threshold or a sensitive gag reflex
- Those with difficulty sitting still for extended periods
- Anyone looking for a calmer, more comfortable dental experience
Our sedation methods are customizable, and our experienced dental team will discuss the best option for your needs. You never have to feel rushed, judged, or nervous with us.

What to Expect: How Sedation Dentistry Works
You’ll start with a simple consultation, where we’ll listen to your concerns, review your health history, and explain which sedation option might work best for your needs.
Step-by-Step Overview
Share your concerns with us. We’ll explain your options and help you understand what to expect.
For oral sedation or sleep dentistry, you may need a friend or family member to accompany you.
You’ll be monitored continuously to ensure your safety and comfort. Depending on the type of sedation, you may feel drowsy, euphoric, or simply more relaxed.
We’ll walk you through post-procedure care. For deeper forms of sedation, you’ll need time to recover at home.
Sedation Dentistry for Children and Adults
Fear of the dentist often starts young. At our clinic, we also provide gentle sedation options for pediatric patients. Our team knows how to work with children to help them feel safe and secure, reducing fears that could carry into adulthood. For adults, sedation can be especially helpful for procedures like root canals, extractions, or multiple fillings.
Don’t let nerves keep you or your child from essential dental care; it’s entirely possible to have a peaceful, positive visit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sedation Dentistry
Yes. Sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained, experienced professionals. We review your medical history, discuss all medications, and monitor you throughout your procedure to ensure your safety and well-being.
Most sedation methods used in our clinic do not cause full unconsciousness. Laughing gas and oral sedation relax you but keep you responsive. Only sleep dentistry (administered in special cases) induces a deeper sleep-like state. We’ll help you choose the right level based on your comfort and procedure.
Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes, so you can usually drive yourself home. Oral sedation and sleep dentistry may require several hours to fully wear off, so you’ll need someone to drive you.
Most patients remember little or nothing from their sedated procedure, especially with oral sedation or sleep dentistry. Even with lighter sedation like laughing gas, anxiety and discomfort are significantly reduced, making the experience more manageable.
That depends on your provider and the procedure. Sedation related to restorative procedures may be partially covered. We’ll check on your coverage and file direct billing if available. We also offer affordable dental plans in Edmonton to help bridge the gap if needed.
Absolutely. We offer safe and age-appropriate sedation options for children, especially those with high dental anxiety, special needs, or lengthy treatment plans. Our friendly team takes the time to explain the process to both the child and the parent.
