Sedation dentistry refers to the use of medication to help patients remain calm and relaxed throughout their dental appointments.
Oral sedation, also known as conscious sedation, involves taking a sedative pill or liquid the night before or the day of your procedure. It works by relaxing your whole body. Oral sedation is also generally recommended for mild sedation, making it a good option for patients who are nervous or anxious about an upcoming procedure.
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is often used for minor procedures. This sedation method is inhaled through a mask and works quickly, causing a feeling of euphoria and mild pain relief. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly once the procedure is complete, so patients can resume normal activities right away.
IV sedation, or intravenous sedation, involves the use of a combination of medications delivered directly into the bloodstream. This level of sedation requires a trained medical professional, such as a dental anesthesiologist. IV sedation produces a deep state of relaxation, allowing for the safe completion of complex procedures. Some patients may feel groggy or nauseous after IV sedation, but these symptoms will dissipate quickly.
