Dental Sedation: A Calming Solution for Anxious Patients
Dental sedation is an excellent option for patients who experience anxiety during dental procedures. While not an anaesthetic, sedation induces a calm, relaxed state, helping patients feel more comfortable and less stressed.
Types of Sedation Available:
- Intravenous (IV) Sedation: Administered directly into the bloodstream, IV sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation and is often used for more complex surgeries.
- Oral Sedation: Pills taken before the procedure help patients feel calm and relaxed while remaining awake and aware.
- Inhalation Sedation: Commonly known as “laughing gas,” this method uses nitrous oxide to relax patients without putting them to sleep.
Benefits of Dental Sedation
- Helps patients with dental phobia or anxiety to undergo treatment with ease.
- Minimizes discomfort and pain during procedures.
- Relaxes muscles, reducing the gag reflex and allowing for smoother treatment.
- Detailed Health History: We assess your oral health and risk factors, such as smoking or family history.
- Thorough Examination: Both external (head, neck) and internal (cheeks, tongue, and throat) areas of the mouth are closely inspected for signs of abnormalities.
- Advanced Scanning Devices: Handheld devices may be used to examine lumps or lesions in greater detail.
If any suspicious findings arise, referrals to specialist consultants are promptly arranged. Regular screenings, especially for high-risk individuals, are essential for sustaining good oral and general health.
