Sedation Dentistry
in Henderson
If the hardest part of a visit is walking through the door, start here. Dr. Goh was dental-phobic himself (a genuinely bad gag reflex, years of avoiding the chair) before he was ever the one holding the mirror. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation are both here so a visit can feel calmer, whichever one fits you.

- What
- Nitrous oxide or a sedation pill, to help you feel calm in the chair.
Two calmer ways in.
Both are standard dental sedation, and both get explained fully at your exam, never sprung on you at the chair.
Nitrous oxide
You breathe nitrous oxide (laughing gas) through a small nasal mask. It takes the edge off within minutes, wears off fast, and you can drive yourself home.
Drive yourself homeOral sedation
A pill taken before you arrive. It goes deeper, so most patients feel calm and drowsy through the visit, and someone needs to drive you home.
Arrange a ride
If any of this sounds like you:
Racing heart in the waiting room, dread in the parking lot, the whole thing. Dr. Goh had it himself for years, so you won't have to explain it to him.
His own gag reflex was part of what kept him out of the chair for years. If yours makes routine visits hard, sedation is one of the more direct ways to make a visit workable.
Nothing about it is a surprise.
Every step is talked through with you first.
Longer visits
When there's more than one thing to take care of in a single appointment, sedation can make sitting through the longer visit far more comfortable.It's been years
About a quarter of our new patients tell us it's been five or more years since their last visit. If that's you, sedation can make the return easier. No lecture, just a plan.Planned at your exam
Sedation is discussed and decided at your exam, not chosen last-minute in the chair. Dr. Goh reviews your health history and talks through whether nitrous, oral sedation, or neither fits you.You say yes, in writing
Before anything is given, you'll understand exactly what to expect and sign off on it, including what to arrange beforehand, like a ride home if you choose oral sedation.Monitored, start to finish
Once you're settled, we monitor you throughout your visit and check in regularly. Blankets, headphones, and a stress ball are available at the front desk for any visit, sedated or not.Never rushed
The visit moves at the pace that keeps you comfortable, not the clock's. If you need a pause, you get one.
