DENTALSEDATION
Dental sedation refers to the use of anesthesia during dental procedures such as tooth implants, root canals, and tooth extraction. During procedures that require an extensive amount of time, sedation is often useful. You may be a candidate for dental sedation if you suffer from dental anxiety, dental phobia, or a condition that renders you unable to control your movements. Children are often good candidates for dental sedation.
Two types of sedation can be used during a dental visit:
- Nitrous Oxide
- Oral Sedative
Patients who are on other medications should consult with the dentist before taking sedatives. Previous allergic reactions to other drugs should also be reported to the dentist.
