Relax During Your Dental Visits
Sedation dentistry may help patients who dread going to the dentist get over their fear using medication. Patients are usually awake under sedation but much more relaxed and comfortable. Anything from simple dental cleanings to more invasive procedures can be done under sedation. The degree of fear a patient feels determines how much sedative is required for a procedure.
The different levels of sedation are the following:
- Minimal – You are awake but relaxed.
- Moderate – You are conscious but may not remember the treatment.
- Deep – You are at the brink of uncosciosness but can still be awakened.
- General Anesthesia – You are totally unconscious.
Types of Sedation
At Norman & Gill Dentistry, we inhalation sedation (nitrous oxide) and local anesthesia to make our patients comfortable.
Inhalation sedation, also known as Nitrous oxide sedation or “laughing gas,” involves inhaling the gas nitrous oxide together with oxygen via a mask that is put over your nose. The gas eases your tension. The amount of sedation you receive can be adjusted by your dentist, and the gas usually wears off quite fast. After the procedure, you might be able to drive yourself home only with this type of sedation.
