What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. It is an effective way to manage dental anxiety and help patients receive the necessary dental treatment without discomfort or fear.
Types of Sedation
There are several types of sedation used in dentistry, including:
Nitrous Oxide Sedation:
Also known as "laughing gas," nitrous oxide is a gas that is inhaled through a mask. It provides a feeling of euphoria and relaxation, and the effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed.
Oral Sedation:
This involves taking a prescribed medication before the dental procedure to help the patient feel relaxed and comfortable. The medication is usually taken in pill form and can range from mild to moderate sedation.
IV Sedation:
This involves administering sedatives intravenously to achieve a deeper level of sedation. Patients will still be conscious, but they will be in a more relaxed and dream-like state.
