Sedation dentistry is a dental treatment option that uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. This technique is sometimes also referred to as "sleep dentistry" or "conscious sedation." Sedation dentistry is often recommended for patients who experience dental anxiety, have a sensitive gag reflex, or require extensive dental work.
Conscious sedation is a technique used in medical and dental procedures to help patients relax and reduce anxiety during the treatment while remaining conscious and responsive. It involves administering medications that induce a state of sedation and calmness, allowing the patient to feel more comfortable during the procedure. Conscious sedation is commonly used for various dental procedures, such as tooth extractions, dental implant placements, and root canal treatments. The medications used in conscious sedation can vary, ranging from oral medications to intravenous (IV) drugs. It is important to discuss the details and potential risks of conscious sedation with your healthcare provider or dentist before undergoing any procedure.
Conscious sedation is achieved through the use of intravenous sedation. The patient will become sleepy and related, but will be able to respond to verbal commands.
