Sedation Dentistry
Overcome Dental Fear with Gentle Sedation
Dentistry does not have to be painful or dreadful. It’s important to know that a visit to the dentist can be a positive experience, even when treatment is necessary. Many people are afraid of the dentist. They avoid dental care at all costs, even when they are in pain or discomfort. But it no longer has to be that way. Modern dentistry offers safe, effective, and comfortable treatments to anxious and fearful patients. Conscious sedation/sedation dentistry/relaxation dentistry is a method used to deal with anxious patients and patients who fear dental procedures. It is used to sedate children, infants, and those individuals that are overly fearful of dental procedures. Sedation Dentistry is not scary and can be pain free dentistry.
Unlike General Anaesthesia where a patient is completely unconscious, asleep, and unable to respond, patients under Conscious Sedation are able to respond to commands and breathe on their own. But because of the medications administered, the patient’s anxiety and fear will vanish.
There are 3 primary ways that Sedation is administered in the Dental Office:
- IV Sedation or Deep Conscious Sedation is where medications are administered directly into the blood stream .The advantage of this method is that the anaesthesia achieved is profound and immediate .There is also complete amnesia of the procedure performed.
- Orally administered sedation-is achieved by administering a pill. The anaesthesia achieved with this method varies from person to person.
- Inhalation Conscious Sedation, Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Sedation-is achieved by inhaling nitrous oxide. The patient will often fall asleep and experience some degree of amnesia.
The Advantages of Sedation
