What is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental surgery or other procedures. For the most part, patients are awake who are undergoing sedation dentistry. Those who are using general anesthesia are completely unconscious. Sedation dentistry covers everything from a simple tooth cleaning to an invasive procedure. There are generally four levels of sedation dentistry: minimal sedation, moderate sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia.
Who Is Sedation Dentistry For?
Sedation dentistry is for individuals who have a low pain threshold, can't sit still while in the dentist's chair, have very sensitive teeth, have a troublesome gag reflex, need a large amount of dental work done, or children who are afraid of going to the dentist or refuse to cooperate during the visit.
