Request an AppointmentWhat Is Sedation Dentistry?
Comfort-Focused Care for Anxious Patients
Sedation dentistry uses safe, carefully monitored medication to help you relax during dental treatment. Whether you feel uneasy about a routine procedure, have a strong gag reflex, or have avoided the dentist for years because of past experiences, sedation can make your visit feel shorter, easier, and far less stressful. You remain responsive throughout treatment while feeling deeply at ease, and many patients remember little of the procedure afterward.
Our Sedation Options
The Right Level of Relaxation for Your Needs
During your consultation at Delight Dental Group in Folsom, CA, we review your health history, your level of anxiety, and the treatment planned, then recommend the option that fits you best. We walk you through every step before your appointment so there are no surprises.
Nitrous Oxide
Commonly known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is a mild sedative you breathe through a small mask. It takes effect within minutes, keeps you fully awake and relaxed, and wears off almost immediately after treatment, so most patients can drive themselves home.
Oral Sedation
A prescribed medication taken before your appointment provides a deeper level of relaxation. You stay awake and able to respond, but feel calm and drowsy throughout treatment. You will need a trusted adult to drive you to and from your visit.
Sedation for Children 12 and Under
For young patients who feel especially nervous, we offer gentle sedation designed for children ages 12 and under. We review your child's health history first, explain every step to you and your child, and keep treatment calm, positive, and comfortable.
Who Benefits from Sedation?
Making Dental Care Possible for Everyone
Sedation dentistry helps patients who experience dental anxiety or fear, children who struggle to sit through treatment, patients with a sensitive gag reflex or difficulty getting numb, and anyone facing a longer procedure who would prefer to relax through it. It can also allow us to complete multiple treatments in a single visit, reducing the number of appointments needed. If avoidance has kept you away from the dentist, sedation offers a comfortable path back to a healthy smile.
Safety Comes First
Carefully Screened, Closely Monitored
Your safety is our highest priority. Before recommending any form of sedation, we complete a thorough review of your medical history, current medications, and overall health. Throughout your visit, our trained team monitors you closely, and we provide clear instructions for before and after your appointment. Dr. Sherif Hassan brings particular focus to sedation for nervous patients and children, helping families build lasting trust in dental care.

Wonderful dental office, amazing staff, such a nice environment. Newsha was really nice and accommodating. Amazing manners 10/10. So glad to come here
Dr. Fady Khalil and his assistant Taguhi are highly professional and knowledgeable. It was a positive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking quality dental care.
Dr. Fady Khalil is the best doctor! He has already cured 6 of my teeth! I was afraid of the anesthetic injection, but this doctor made it so easy that I didn't feel anything! The treatment was fast and high quality! I am very happy that this doctor treats my teeth. The assistants also took very careful X-ray of the teeth and cleaned them. The clinic staff is also very friendly. I am very glad that I get my teeth treated at this clinic.
