Dental Sedation
Despite all our efforts, some patients cannot control their anxiety and need extra assistance to face a visit to the dentist. For these patients we offer Sedation, which involves either the injection of a drug into the arm or hand (IV Sedation) or in the form of a liquid which is taken orally (Oral Sedation), which helps the patient relax. Once the patient returns home, the visit is usually forgotten. This is a very safe and pleasant procedure.
If you are going to have a dental procedure done for you that you anticipate would otherwise be painful or stressful, sedation may be the best thing for you. Conscious sedation differs from the general anaesthesia that you receive in the hospital is some important ways. Under general anaesthesia, you are totally unconscious. This means that your protective reflexes (such as coughing to clear your airway, for example) are not functional and vital functions have to be supported artificially. With sedation, however, since you are still conscious, all of your protective reflexes are functional. This permits it to be done safely in an office setting. However, you are so sleepy and relaxed that you are indifferent to the dental treatment. Your memory of treatment is usually poor so this helps you not to remember unpleasant treatments.
