Sedation Dentistry
Dental treatment can be an anxiety-inducing event for many people. At Dr. Dilip Dental Centre, we understand that anxiety can prevent people from seeking the dental care they need. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry, a way to help you relax and feel comfortable during your dental treatment.
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is a type of anesthesia that helps you feel relaxed and comfortable during your dental treatment. There are two main types of sedation dentistry:
- Nitrous oxide: This is a gas that is inhaled through a mask. It helps to reduce anxiety and pain, and it also makes you feel relaxed and sleepy.
- IV sedation: This is a type of sedation that is administered through an IV line. It provides a deeper level of sedation than nitrous oxide, and it can help you to sleep through your dental treatment.
Who is sedation dentistry for?
Sedation dentistry is a good option for people who have anxiety about dental treatment. It is also a good option for people who need extensive dental work, such as implant placement or gum surgery.
How does sedation dentistry work?
Before your dental treatment, you will meet with your dentist to discuss your anxiety and your preferences for sedation. Your dentist will then choose the type of sedation that is right for you.
If you are having nitrous oxide sedation, you will be given a mask to breathe through. The gas will start to work within a few minutes, and you will start to feel relaxed and sleepy.
If you are having IV sedation, you will be given an IV line in your arm. The sedative will be administered through the IV line, and you will start to feel relaxed and sleepy within a few minutes.
