What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is designed to help patients feel at ease during dental treatments. Many children, regardless of age, may feel anxious or stressed about dental visits. Offering sedation options helps create a more relaxed and comfortable experience for both the child and the dental staff.
Various sedation methods are available, tailored to the procedure and individual needs.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry helps make dental visits easier and more comfortable. Here are some key benefits:
This involves a topical or injectable anesthetic that numbs a specific area to prevent pain. Its effects typically last for a few hours following the procedure.
Commonly called laughing gas, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask during treatment. It quickly helps patients feel relaxed, and the calming effects disappear shortly after the gas is stopped.
Also known as general anesthesia, IV sedation is administered under the close watch of an anesthesiologist. It uses medications to help patients sleep through their dental treatment and is usually reserved for more complex or invasive procedures.
