Sedation (Anxiety-Free) Dentistry
Sedation (Anxiety-Free) Dentistry refers to using medication to help patients relax and feel more comfortable during dental procedures.
Conscious sedation: Patients breathe nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen through a mask. It induces a calming effect while keeping patients fully conscious. The effects wear off quickly, allowing patients to drive themselves home after the procedure.
Who Can Benefit from Conscious Sedation?
People with severe dental anxiety or phobia.
• Individuals with a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth.
• Patients undergoing lengthy or complex procedures.
• Children or adults with special needs or difficulty controlling their movements during treatment.
• People with a strong gag reflex.
Caution:
Conscious sedation is a safe and effective option when managed by trained dental professionals. However, patients should discuss their medical history, any medications they’re taking, and any potential risks with their dentist before undergoing sedation.
