What should I expect with oral conscious sedation?
Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your appointment. You’ll remain awake but deeply relaxed, able to respond to questions but often with little memory of the procedure afterward. It’s important to arrange transportation, as you won’t be able to drive until the effects fully wear off, ensuring you get home safely and comfortably.
-
What is laughing gas and what does it do?
Laughing gas, or nitrous oxide, is a mild sedative gas that is inhaled through a mask placed over your nose. It works quickly to relax patients, creating a euphoric feeling that helps minimize discomfort and anxiety during dental procedures. The effects of laughing gas wear off almost immediately after removing the mask, allowing you to drive home and continue your day without interruption.
-
What type of anesthesia are used for dental work?
In dental care, several types of anesthesia are used depending on the procedure and patient needs. Local anesthesia numbs the treatment area and is commonly used for routine procedures. Oral sedatives and laughing gas help manage anxiety and pain for more involved treatments. For extensive procedures, IV sedation or general anesthesia may be employed to induce a deeper level of unconsciousness where patients are completely asleep, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the treatment.
