Some patients need a little help achieving a relaxed state. Nitrous Oxide ("laughing gas") is available when needed to make you more comfortable.

Our office is proud to offer in-office intravenous sedation for those patients who are anxious about treatment or when sedation is necessary to assure comfort during longer procedures.

We work closely with a board certified anesthesiologist to assure your comfort and safety. Our anesthesiologist uses state-of-the-art techniques and equipment to alleviate your anxiety and ensure a comfortable, pleasant periodontal or implant experience.

Our office offers medication- and -drug free relaxation techniques in order to alleviate anxiety and make your visit more pleasant. Dr. Froum is certified in Medical Hypnosis and is a member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

Dr. Froum also uses hypnosis in the treatment of smoking habits, bruxism (night grinding) and clenching habits, and control of an oversensitive gag reflex. Patients can also learn self hypnosis techniques for weight control, anxiety and to control post treatment pain.

For a free consultation please contact our New York Periodontist Dr. Stuart Froum in his Manhattan office at 212.586.4209 for more information regarding relaxation techniques.
