Types Of Sedation Dentistry

For many of us, anticipating a dentists
appointment may distill a feeling of extreme fear
and anxiety. Not everyone can sit in the
dentists chair, surrounded by dental instruments
and an irrevocable antiseptic smell without
thinking about running home. Luckily, you can
still get dental treatments without panic and
fear through sedation dentistry.

A sedation dentist usually administers
medications to help a patient relax during a
dental procedure. While its commonly known as
sleep dentistry, the patient is not entirely
asleep and is given various levels of sedation
according to their particular case.

Here are the types of sedation methods involved

A minimal sedation procedure involving inhalation
of nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide, widely known as
laughing gas is given to the patient mixed with
oxygen through a mask. Your dentist can control
the amount of sedation you receive through the
mask.

Another method of sedation is oral sedation which
involves giving patients a pill for relaxation.
The dose administered can be from moderate to
high and depends upon the patients case.
7
IV sedation involves giving patients a sedative
through a vein so that it works quickly. Your
dentist can adjust the level of the sedation
quite easily in this method.

General anesthesia is a method of deep sedation
which can make the patient fall asleep during the
procedure. The patient cant be awakened easily
until the effects of sedation wear off.
