How Sedation is Revolutionizing the Patient Experience Innovations in Dentistry
What is sedation? • Sedation is the use of medication to induce a state of calm and relaxation. • There are three main types of sedation used in dentistry: • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): Nitrous oxide is a gas that is inhaled through a nasal mask. It is a mild sedative that can help children feel relaxed and happy. • Oral sedation: Oral sedation is the use of medication taken by mouth. It is a stronger sedative than nitrous oxide and can help children feel drowsy or even asleep. • Intravenous (IV) sedation: IV sedation is the use of medication injected into a vein. It is the strongest type of sedation and is typically only used for children who are very anxious or who need major dental work.
Benefits of sedation • Sedation can provide a number of benefits for children who are anxious about going to the dentist, including: • Reduced anxiety and fear • Increased comfort and relaxation • Improved cooperation during dental procedures • Reduced pain and discomfort • Decreased risk of dental trauma • Increased likelihood of returning for future dental care
