4. The Benefits of
Sedation Dentistry
• Sedation dentistry has numerous benefits for patients who
experience dental anxiety. One of the most significant benefits
is that it can help patients feel more relaxed and at ease during
dental procedures, which can make the experience less
stressful and more comfortable.
• Another benefit of sedation dentistry is that it can help patients
who have a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth. By numbing
the area being treated, patients are less likely to experience
discomfort or pain during the procedure, making it easier for
them to tolerate and complete the treatment

5. Types of Sedation
Dentistry
• There are three primary types of sedation dentistry: nitrous oxide,
oral sedation, and IV sedation. Nitrous oxide, also known as
laughing gas, is a mild form of sedation that is inhaled through a
mask. It helps patients feel more relaxed and can reduce anxiety
during dental procedures. Oral sedation involves taking medication
in pill form prior to the procedure to help patients feel calm and
relaxed. IV sedation is administered through an IV and provides a
deeper level of sedation for patients who experience severe dental
anxiety or require a longer procedure.
• Regardless of the type of sedation used, it is important to note that
patients will still be awake and responsive during the procedure.
The sedation simply helps them feel more relaxed and comfortable.
Your dentist will work with you to determine the best type of
sedation for your specific needs and medical history

6. The Sedation
Dentistry Process
• The process of receiving sedation dentistry begins with an initial
consultation with your dentist. During this consultation, you will
discuss your dental anxiety and any concerns you may have
about the procedure. Your dentist will then determine which type
of sedation dentistry is best suited for you based on your medical
history and the complexity of the procedure.
• On the day of the procedure, you will be given the sedative
medication either orally or intravenously. The medication will help
you relax and feel more comfortable during the procedure. Your
vital signs will be monitored throughout the procedure to ensure
your safety. After the procedure is complete, you will be allowed
to rest until the effects of the sedative wear off.
