Why Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is also known as “sleep dentistry,” but it is not entirely true. Unlike general anesthesia, patients under sedation are able to respond to commands. It is a safe and effective method to ensure comfortable treatments for anxious and fearful patients. Complex dental treatments such as wisdom tooth extractions, root canal and other oral surgeries require patients to feel calm and safe. Besides helping you relax, sedation dentistry is also a highly effective pain management technique that allows a dentist to perform dental treatments in a relaxed and stress-free environment. Depending on the complexity of the dental treatment, the levels of sedation are determined. There are three levels of the sedation; minimal, moderate and deep.
Some of the benefits of sedation dentistry include:
- Fear-free dental treatments
- Control gag reflex
- Less expensive than general anesthesia
- No hospitalization required
