Types Of Sedation
We will help you decide the type of sedation that’s right for you. Your dental procedure, overall health, history of allergies, and anxiety levels will all determine the best approach in your case.
Inhalation Sedation
General Anaesthesia is a type of sedation that puts you into a state of unconsciousness. This type of sedation is ideal for people with behavioral problems or those who are facing a particularly challenging dental procedure. When you are under General Anaesthesia, you will be asleep and completely relaxed throughout the entire treatment. This allows your dentist to work on your teeth without causing any discomfort.
Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is a type of sedation that you can take as a pill to help you feel relaxed and calm during your dental procedure. You can take it either the night before or 30 minutes before your appointment. The amount you take will determine the level of sedation you experience. With minimal sedation, you’ll remain awake but feel relaxed, while with moderate sedation, your speech may be slurred and you may not remember the entire procedure. This type of sedation is a good option for people who need extra help to feel calm during their dental visit.
General Anaesthesia
This type of sedation allows dentists to work on patients while they are unconscious, making it ideal for those with behavioral problems or who are facing a particularly challenging procedure.
With General Anaesthesia, you’ll be able to relax and stay asleep throughout the entire treatment, allowing your dentist to provide the care you need without causing any discomfort

FAQs
Most frequently asked questions
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Sedation dentistry is generally safe when administered by a qualified dental professional. However, there are some risks involved with sedation, such as low blood pressure, respiratory problems, and allergic reactions. Your dentist will carefully evaluate your medical history and overall health before recommending sedation.
Will I be unconscious during the procedure?
It depends on the type of sedation used. With nitrous oxide and oral sedation, you will be awake but very relaxed. With IV sedation and general anesthesia, you will be unconscious.
Who is a good candidate for sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is a good option for people who experience dental anxiety or have a fear of going to the dentist. It is also recommended for patients who have a low pain tolerance, have a sensitive gag reflex, or need extensive dental work. However, your dentist will evaluate your individual needs and determine if sedation dentistry is right for you.
How long does the sedation last?
The duration of the sedation depends on the type of sedation used. Nitrous oxide and oral sedation typically wear off within a few hours, while IV sedation and general anesthesia can take longer to wear off.
How should I prepare for my sedation dentistry appointment?
Your dentist will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for your sedation dentistry appointment. Generally, you should avoid eating or drinking anything for several hours before the procedure, and you should arrange for someone to drive you home afterward. You should also wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and avoid wearing jewelry or contact lenses.
