Sedation Dentistry
|
• | Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): This mild sedative is inhaled through a mask placed over the nose. It helps patients relax and wears off quickly once the mask is removed, allowing patients to drive themselves home after the procedure. |
• | Oral Sedation: Depending on the total dose given, oral sedation can range from minimal to moderate. For minimal sedation, you take a pill about an hour before the procedure. The pill makes you drowsy, although you'll still be awake. |
• | IV Sedation: This type of sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation and is administered intravenously, allowing the dentist to adjust the sedation level easily. |
• | Anxiety Reduction: Anxiety Reduction: Sedation dentistry helps to ease anxiety, allowing patients to relax during their treatment. |
• | Pain Relief: Sedation often includes an analgesic effect, helping manage pain and discomfort during the procedure. |
• | Increased Cooperation: Patients who are nervous or restless can sit still, making it easier to perform treatments quickly and safely. |
• | Memory Loss: Some forms of sedation can induce partial or full memory loss for the duration of the procedure, helping patients who have severe dental anxiety. |
• | Personalized Sedation Plans: We carefully assess each patient's medical history, current health, and anxiety levels to choose the safest, most effective sedation option. |
• | Experienced Staff: Our dental team is highly trained in sedation dentistry, including emergency preparedness and patient monitoring. |
• | Increased Cooperation: Patients who are nervous or restless can sit still, making it easier to perform treatments quickly and safely. |
• | State-of-the-Art Monitoring Equipment: We use advanced technology to monitor patient's vital signs throughout the procedure, ensuring their safety. |
