What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medications to help patients relax or even drift toward sleep during dental procedures. It’s especially valuable for those who feel anxious, fearful, or uncomfortable during dental visits. The levels range from mild relaxation to deeper sedation, depending on your needs.
Key sedation types often used:
- Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas / Inhalation Sedation): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask. It acts quickly and wears off fast.
- Oral Sedation: A pill taken before the appointment to induce relaxation. You remain conscious but deeply calm.
- IV (Intravenous) Sedation: Sedative delivered through a vein. Useful for longer or more invasive treatments.
- General Anesthesia: Reserved for complex surgeries or special cases. The patient is fully unconscious.
