Sedation Dentistry: Comfort Meets Care

How It Works :

• Consultation :
  Discuss your medical history, anxiety triggers, and procedure complexity to choose the safest sedation level.
• Types of Sedation :
  • Nitrous Oxide (“Laughing Gas”) : Inhaled for mild relaxation; wears off quickly.
  • Oral Sedation : Pills like midazolam or vistaril for moderate anxiety, inducing drowsiness without full sleep.
  • IV Sedation : Administered intravenously for deep relaxation, ideal for complex or multi-hour procedures.

• Safety Protocols :
  Vital signs monitored continuously; administered by certified sedation dentists.

Benefits :

• Reduces gag reflex and discomfort during procedures.
• Ideal for patients with PTSD, autism, or severe anxiety.
• Shortens treatment time by enabling efficient, uninterrupted work.

Post-Procedure :

• Recovery time varies (minutes for nitrous oxide; hours for IV sedation).
• Arrange a ride home for IV sedation cases.

Why Choose Sedation? :

• Over 30% of adults avoid dentists due to fear; sedation breaks this cycle.
• Backed by NICE guidelines for safe use in pediatric and adult care.
