Sedation Dentistry: For When White-Knuckling It Isn’t the Answer
By Dr. Dave – Five Point Family Dentistry of Olathe

You’re gripping the chair. Palms sweaty. You haven’t even opened your mouth yet.
At Five Point Family Dentistry in Olathe, we know this story well—and we’re here to tell you: there are better options.
Sedation dentistry isn’t just for big surgeries. It’s for real people who want real dental care without the fear, tension, or trauma.
Who Is Sedation Dentistry For?
- Patients with anxiety or fear of the dentist
- Kids or adults with sensory sensitivities
- People needing longer or more complex procedures
- Anyone with a strong gag reflex or fear of pain
What Types of Sedation Do We Offer?
- **Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas):** Gentle, safe, and wears off quickly—great for mild anxiety
- **Oral Sedation:** A prescribed pill taken before the appointment to help you stay calm and comfortable
- We’ll talk through your needs and find the right option for your care plan.
Is It Safe?
Yes. We review your medical history, monitor you closely, and use proven, effective sedation methods every day. And you’re never alone—we’re with you every step of the way.
Sedation Can Change Everything
Some of our most loyal patients started with extreme anxiety. Sedation helped them ease into care at their own pace—and now they actually *look forward* to visits (really!).
Final Word from Dr. Dave:
“You don’t have to tough it out. If you’re scared, let’s talk about sedation. It’s a tool—not a crutch—and it might just change how you feel about the dentist forever.”
