Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry has become an anesthetic technique of choice in North America for patients who feel apprehensive, nervous, or fearful prior to receiving dental treatment. Although local anesthetics are still the most commonly used numbing agent, sedation dentistry is a relaxing and anxiety-free alternative for patients who require complex dental procedures but are afraid of needles.
The Djawdan Center for Implant and Restorative Dentistry offers a variety of sedation dentistry techniques, including oral sedation, IV sedation, and inhalation sedation. Oral sedation is administered by taking a pill that relaxes patients to the point of sleep, while still allowing them full control over their body functions and breathing rate. IV sedation administers medication directly through the blood stream and provides patients with immediate relaxation and comfort prior to treatment. Inhalation sedation, more widely known as laughing gas, simply helps patients calm their nerves and feel less tense prior to receiving their dental treatment.
