Get the dental treatment you need comfortably with nitrous oxide sedation at dentist in Etobicoke, Ontario

Many patients throughout the world experience dental fears and phobias. At Sherway dentistry in Etobicoke, Ontario, we know that these anxieties can lead to a stressful experience in the dental chair, and can even prevent some patients from receiving the dental care that they need for a healthy smile. That’s why we offer sedation with nitrous oxide to help patients who suffer from dental phobias have a calm and relaxing dental experience, as well as for other indications.
