What Is Sedation Dentistry and How Does It Work?
Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedatives during dental consultations or treatments to reduce dental anxiety and eliminate pain or discomfort. Sedation dentistry, delivered by our skilled specialists, is an effective and safe way to make dental appointments as stress-free as possible for everyone from apprehensive patients to those undergoing more complex operations.
Dental Sedation Types
Nitrous oxide is a pleasant-smelling gas delivered through a soft mask worn over the nose. It induces a joyful, relaxed feeling in patients, allowing them to remain tranquil in the treatment process. When the mask is removed, the relaxing effects fade.
Oral conscious sedation is a prescription medicine that patients take prior to their consultation. It is a little stronger than nitrous oxide. It allows patients to feel deeply rested while remaining conscious and able to converse with our team. Because the effects are strong and take a long time to wear off, you'll need someone to take you back home.
Modest IV sedation level. The sedative drug is controlled through a vein, which allows it to operate more quickly. This process helps the dentists to control the anesthesia dose.
General anesthesia and deep sedation. During the surgery, you will be given drugs that will render you either almost unconscious or completely unconscious (deeply sleeping). You cannot readily be awakened when under general anesthesia until the anesthesia effects go away.
Who Is Eligible for Sedation at the Dentist?
Sedation is best appropriate for persons who have a genuine fear or anxiety about coming to the dentist.

Have a low pain tolerance
Can't remain still in the dentist's chair
Have very sensitive teeth
