Oral Conscious Sedation
This type of sedation dentistry is most often used for patients with more severe dental phobias, as well as those who need longer or more complex treatments. It comes in the form of a pill, which you’ll take some time before the treatment begins so that by the time you’re seated in the treatment chair, you’re fully relaxed and unlikely to even remember anything about your appointment later! However, you’ll still be conscious and responsive to verbal commands and physical stimuli so that treatment can be carried out as planned.
Nitrous Oxide
When it comes to dental sedation, nitrous oxide is probably what comes to mind first – or perhaps you recognize it by its nickname, “laughing gas.” Compared to other forms of sedation, nitrous oxide is certainly more convenient; it takes effect very quickly once you start breathing it in, yet it wears off quickly enough that you’ll be able to go on with the rest of your day as you normally would. It’s administered through a soft nasal mask with a mixture of oxygen, and a patient’s vitals are closely monitored throughout their treatment. It’s generally a suitable treatment for those with mild to moderate dental anxiety.
