What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry refers to medically induced relaxation techniques used during dental procedures. There are a few different types of sedatives that offer varying levels of sedation from mild to deep sedation. Sedation dentistry may be used for particularly complex procedures or to help anxious patients feel more relaxed.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
- Feel more relaxed. If you tend to feel nervous or anxious about dental procedures, sedation can help you feel more relaxed and avoid unnecessary stress.
- Procedures seem shorter. While under sedation you are less aware of your surroundings and time seems to pass more quickly. Before you know it, your procedure is over.
- Doctors can work more efficiently. When you are sedated your doctor can work more quickly and get more done in a shorter period of time.
- Less local anesthesia may be needed. Sedation can reduce the amount of local anesthesia that is required for a procedure, which means the numbness will wear off more quickly.
- Get the dental care you need. For some people dental anxiety is so severe that they avoid getting the dental care they need. The longer it is avoided, the worse the condition will get. Sedation can make it possible for you to receive much needed dental treatment.
