What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry utilizes medication to help patients relax during dental procedures, often referred to as “sleep dentistry.” However, patients are usually awake except for those under general anesthesia. The levels of sedation used include minimal sedation, moderate sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia.
Benefits and Importance of Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry can provide numerous benefits:
Reduced Fear and Anxiety:
If dental visits make you anxious or fearful, sedation dentistry can help you feel more relaxed and comfortable.
Comfort:
For lengthy procedures, sedation can help ensure you’re comfortable the entire time.
Efficiency:
Dentists can often work more efficiently when patients are sedated, potentially reducing the number of visits necessary for complex procedures.
Improved Post-Treatment Recovery:
Sedation can reduce post-treatment discomfort and speed up recovery time.
