What is Sedation Dentistry?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sedation dentistry<\/a> is the practice of using medicines to induce a light state of unconsciousness during dental treatments. Dentists trained to administer sedation safely and with minimal side effects. Sedation is ideal for people who have a strong fear of the dentist and who would otherwise avoid dental care. Sedation dentistry is not the same as general anaesthesia in a hospital. The patient is not unconscious and does not require an operating room. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Instead, he or she is able to respond to questions as the dental treatment progresses. Sedation dentistry can take many forms. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedatives, or intravenous sedation to make certain dental procedures less frightening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Types of Sedation for Dental Implants<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Intravenous Sedation<\/strong><\/a> – This is the strongest form of sedation, and is administered through an IV line. It\u2019s usually used when you\u2019re getting a root canal <\/a>or having multiple teeth removed. The dentist will start by administering a benzodiazepine like midazolam, followed by a narcotic like fentanyl.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

General Anaesthesia<\/strong> – This a very rare form of dental sedation, and only administered in extreme cases when IV sedation won\u2019t work. General anesthesia for dental procedures typically reserved for oral surgeries or extractions of multiple teeth. It\u2019s a very rare form of sedation that shouldn\u2019t be taken lightly. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The goal of sedation dentistry is to remove anxiety and increase comfort during dental treatment.<\/p>

Local Anaesthesia<\/strong> – Local sedation involves the administration of a short-acting anesthetic that numbs a specific region of the mouth. It\u2019s often used for minor procedures, like tooth extractions, fillings, and crowns. Local sedation safe and effective for most people, but shouldn\u2019t used by those with heart conditions or other health complications.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
