| Sedation |
|
| Sedation is a medical procedure involving the
administration of sedative drugs, generally to facilitate a medical procedure
with local
anesthesia. Sedation is typically used in procedures such as
endoscopy, vasectomy, or minor surgery and in dentistry for reconstructive
surgery, some cosmetic surgeries, removal of impacted wisdom teeth, or for
high-anxiety patients.

Sedation methods in dentistry
include inhalation sedation (using nitrous oxide), oral sedation, and
intravenous (IV) sedation. Inhalation sedation is also sometimes referred to as
Relative Analgesia.
Your dentist may recommend an intravenous or IV sedation. This is given by
injection, either in the back of your hand or in your arm. The dose will depend
on the amount of treatment needed and the length of time it will take to
complete. Dentists who offer oral sedation will have particular preferences,
depending on their experience (and experiences) with various drugs.
Most commonly, oral sedation (usually in the form of anti-anxiety or "happy
pills") is prescribed for relieving anxiety in the hours immediately before a
dental appointment. An anti-anxiety or sedative-hypnotic drug (see below) taken
the night before the appointment, an hour before going to bed, can help with
falling asleep and getting some rest. Alternatives include going on the lash
(i. e. having a few scoops) the night before or stocking up on rescue remedy.
Remember sedation is not a very common occurring thing or service. After the
entire treatment you tend to get back that very attractive smile of yours with
healthy teeth and gums. It is very important to have a proper guide and
