Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients feel relaxed during dental procedures. While often referred to as “sleep dentistry,” most sedation techniques allow the patient to remain awake but in a deeply relaxed state. This is especially beneficial for individuals with:- Dental anxiety or phobia
- Low pain threshold
- Sensitive gag reflex
- Difficulty sitting still for long periods
- Complex or multiple procedures planned
Types of Sedation
The sedation options are suggested based on your medical history and the nature of your treatment:- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A light form of sedation that wears off quickly. Ideal for minor treatments or mild anxiety.
- Oral Conscious Sedation: Taken in pill form prior to the appointment, it provides moderate sedation while keeping the patient responsive.
- IV Sedation: Administered intravenously for deeper relaxation, especially during surgical procedures. Patients often remember very little of the appointment.
