Sedation dentistry helps patients relax during dental procedures.
It is ideal for those with dental anxiety, fear, or sensitivity.
Sedation can be administered in different forms:
Oral sedation (pills)
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
IV sedation for deeper relaxation
With sedation dentistry, patients remain calm and comfortable throughout treatment.
It allows dentists to perform complex procedures with ease and precision.
Sedation dentistry ensures minimal discomfort, faster appointments, and a stress-free experience.
By combining modern sedation techniques with expert dental care, patients can maintain healthy teeth and gums without fear.
Sedation dentistry uses medications to relax patients during dental procedures. You may remain fully awake, lightly sedated, or deeply relaxed, depending on the type of sedation.
Patients with dental anxiety or phobia
Those with a low pain threshold
Patients undergoing lengthy or multiple dental procedures
Children or special-needs patients
The duration depends on the type of sedation:
Oral or nitrous oxide sedation: short-acting, usually wears off within a few hours
IV sedation: lasts through the procedure, with full recovery under supervision
Side effects are usually mild, including drowsiness, dry mouth, or slight nausea, and typically subside within a few hours.
