We know that many people are fearful of dental procedures and experience anxiety before and during their dental visit. To make your visit more enjoyable and relaxing, some affordable dentures practices now offer conscious sedation.
Sedation Dentistry is used to provide a relaxing and anxiety-free experience for certain people receiving dental treatment. It enables individuals too afraid to go to the experienced dentist to receive the dental care they need while avoiding the common apprehension known as dental phobia.
What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation Dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It’s sometimes referred to as “sleep dentistry,” although that’s not entirely accurate. Patients are usually awake except those who are under general anesthesia.
The levels of sedation used include:
Minimal sedation — you are awake but relaxed.
Moderate sedation (formerly called “conscious sedation”) may slur your words when speaking and not remember much of the procedure.
Deep sedation — you are on the edge of consciousness but can still be awakened.
General anesthesia — you are entirely unconscious.
Sedation is a process used to establish a relaxed, easy, and calm state through the use of sedatives.
