What are the types of sleep dentistry?
- Inhaled Minimal Sedation: Laughing gas administered through a mask, wears off quickly after treatment.
- Oral Sedation: Sedative pill taken before the procedure to induce relaxation.
- IV Sedation: Sedative administered intravenously for precise control of sedation levels throughout the treatment.
- General Anesthesia: Induces unconsciousness, commonly used for longer or complex dental procedures.
Each type offers tailored benefits, and our dentist will recommend the most suitable option, ensuring a safe and comfortable dental experience. If you’re looking for sedation dentistry, our team can help you get relaxed during your dental appointments.
Frequently asked questions about sleep / sedation dentistry
Is sedation dentistry safe?
When administered by a qualified and experienced dental professional, sedation dentistry is considered safe. Before undergoing sedation, your dentist will review your medical history, assess your suitability for sedation, and discuss any potential risks or complications associated with the specific type of sedation being used.
Will I be unconscious during sedation dentistry?
The level of consciousness during sedation dentistry varies depending on the type of sedation used. With mild to moderate sedation, you remain conscious and able to respond to verbal cues, but you may feel drowsy and relaxed. With deep sedation or general anesthesia, you are in a state of unconsciousness and will not remember the procedure.
Will I feel any pain during sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry helps alleviate anxiety and discomfort during dental procedures, but it does not eliminate pain entirely. Local anesthesia is often administered in conjunction with sedation to numb the treatment area and ensure a pain-free experience.
How long does the effect of sedation last?
The duration of sedation effects varies depending on the type and dosage of sedative used, as well as individual factors such as metabolism and tolerance. In most cases, the effects wear off gradually after the procedure, but you may feel drowsy or groggy for several hours afterward.
