Types of Sedation

There are various types of sedation to ensure each child’s comfort based on their specific needs.

1.Nitrous Oxide: Also known as laughing gas, it’s inhaled through a mask, easing mild to moderate anxiety without inducing sleep.

2.Oral Sedation: A pill or liquid medication that ensures the child is relaxed yet conscious, with often little memory of the procedure.

3.IV Sedation: Administered through a vein for a deeper relaxation, maintaining a level of consciousness.

4.General Anesthesia: Used for profound fears or complex procedures, rendering the patient completely unaware and unconscious.

How Sedation Dentistry Works

1.Reducing Anxiety: “The medications calm the nerves, transforming the dental chair into a place of comfort.

2.Inducing Relaxation: “Children become still and cooperative, making the procedure swift and smooth.

3.Pain Management: “With enhanced pain control, each touch is gentle, and every moment is comfortable.

4.Amnesia: And for some sedations, the memory of the procedure is like a faint whisper, ensuring a trauma-free experience.
