Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before a dental procedure to help patients feel calm and relaxed. It is typically used for individuals with moderate to severe dental anxiety or for longer, more complex treatments.
While patients remain conscious, oral sedation can make them feel drowsy, with some even falling into a light sleep during the procedure. The effects take longer than nitrous oxide, so patients need someone to drive them home afterward.
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a mild sedative used in dentistry to help patients feel relaxed during procedures. It is administered through a mask and takes effect quickly, providing a calming sensation without putting the patient to sleep.
Nitrous oxide is safe for both children and adults. Its effects wear off rapidly after removing the mask, allowing patients to return to normal activities shortly after their visit. This sedation option is ideal for patients with mild dental anxiety or those undergoing less invasive treatments.
IV sedation is a deeper form of sedation administered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for quick and controlled relaxation during dental procedures. Patients remain conscious but are often so relaxed that they have little to no memory of the treatment.
This type of sedation is ideal for those with severe dental anxiety or for complex, lengthy procedures like oral surgery. Because of its deeper effects, patients will need to arrange for transportation and take time to fully recover after the procedure.
Suppose dental fear, anxiety, or the complexity of treatments, including dental implant surgery, have deterred you from seeking care. In that case, our dedicated team is here to offer support. Timely dental interventions can restore oral health and boost confidence, facilitating a pain-free and fulfilling life!
