If dental visits make you feel nervous or uneasy, you’re not alone — and we’re here to help. At Shrewsbury Family Dentistry, your comfort comes first. That’s why Dr. Fabio Beltran offers gentle sedation dentistry options that make it easy to relax and receive the care you need without stress or fear.
Whether you’ve had a past dental concern, a sensitive gag reflex, or just prefer a calmer experience, our team will make sure you feel safe, supported, and cared for from start to finish.
Sedation dentistry uses safe, controlled methods to help patients feel relaxed and at ease during dental procedures. At Shrewsbury Family Dentistry, we offer several forms of sedation depending on your needs:
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A light, fast-acting option that helps you feel calm and comfortable while remaining fully awake.
Oral Sedation: A prescribed pill taken before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed throughout treatment.
Valium Sedation: A slightly stronger oral option for patients with higher anxiety levels or longer procedures.
You’ll remain conscious and able to respond throughout your visit, but many patients describe feeling as though time passes quickly and easily.
Our goal is to make sure every patient enjoys a positive, peaceful experience at the dentist. Sedation dentistry is especially helpful for:
Patients who experience dental anxiety or fear
Those with sensitive teeth or a strong gag reflex
Patients undergoing longer or more complex treatments
Anyone who simply prefers a calmer, more comfortable visit
With Dr. Beltran’s extensive experience and gentle care, sedation makes it possible for even the most nervous patients to smile with confidence — both during and after their visit.
Shrewsbury Family Dentistry is proud to serve families across southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland.

Not completely — you’ll be awake and able to communicate, but you’ll feel deeply relaxed and calm the entire time.
Yes. Dr. Beltran is qualified in sedation techniques and monitors your comfort and safety throughout your visit.
If you receive nitrous oxide, you can return to normal activities right away. For oral or Valium sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you home.
You deserve dental care that feels calm, comfortable, and completely stress-free. With sedation dentistry at Shrewsbury Family Dentistry, you can finally relax knowing you’re cared for by a team that puts your comfort first — every time you visit.
