Sedation dentistry involves medication beingadministered before or during dental treatment to allowpatients to feel calm and relaxed throughout a procedure. The type of sedation your dentist gives you is based on your level of anxiety, the length of your dental treatment, and what kind of dental treatment you are receiving.
Some peoplefeel genuinely afraid at the mere thought of dental visits. This distress can result in a downward spiral in which patients neglect routine as well as urgent dental care. Over time, these problems can easily become severe.
Sedation dentistry offers relief to patients who suffer from mild to severe dental anxiety. It is also helpful for patients undergoing a long procedure or several dental treatments at once. Our dental practice, Dentistry at the Heights, offers mild sedation, nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation.
Smile makeovers are similar to full mouth reconstructions, but instead of achieving practical improvements, this procedureis focused oncosmetic results. Patients who are receiving several veneersat our Brooklyn Heights practice, for example, might be more comfortable with the aid of sedation.
Oral sedation is the use of orally administered medication to help a patient relax during a dental procedure. The medication is given in pill form and the sedative effects can range from minimal to moderate. You will be given a pill about an hour before your procedure and you will become groggy. If your doctor needs to ask you a question or needs you to move a certain way, you will be able to respond.
IV sedation quickly delivers medication into the bloodstream during a dental procedure. Our office works closely with an anesthesiologist who is able to quickly adjust the level of sedation, if necessary. You will reach a state of near-sleep, and you will be monitored throughout treatment. This type of sedation is best for more complex or lengthy procedures.
