What is Sedation dentistry?


Sedation Dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry or twilight dentistry, is a technique used by dentists to help patients relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures. Sedation Dentistry involves the use of sedatives, including oral medications, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or intravenous (IV) sedation, to reduce anxiety and discomfort associated with dental treatments.

The level of sedation used in Sedation Dentistry in Chennai can range from mild relaxation to deep sedation, depending on the patient's needs and the type of procedure being performed. Before the procedure, the dentist will evaluate the patient's medical history and current health status to determine if Sedation Dentistry is appropriate. The dentist will also monitor the patient's vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure their safety.

When Does a Dentist Choose Sedation Dentistry?


Many patients are apprehensive about sitting in a dental chair. Their blood pressure shoots up, they are anxious and may not respond well to the treatments or the commands of the dentist well. Sedation for dental treatment calms the patients, helps them relax and makes them feel comfortable or less anxious. The patients do not necessarily sleep and are conscious about the surroundings or treatment.

Classic Signs for Choosing Sedation Dentistry


Patient anxiety

Sedation Dentistry can help patients who experience dental anxiety or phobia to feel more relaxed and comfortable during their dental procedures. This can help them to receive the dental care they need without undue stress or fear.

Complex procedures

For lengthy or complex procedures Sedation Dentistry can be beneficial for the patient as well as the dentist. It can help to reduce discomfort, minimise movement, and make it easier for the dentist to work efficiently.

Physical or cognitive limitations

Strong gag reflex

Sedation can help patients with a strong gag reflex in reducing the urge to gag and make dental procedures more comfortable.

Fear of needles

For patients who are afraid of needles or injections, oral sedation can be a good alternative to receiving anaesthesia via injection.

The sedatives are normally given into your intravenous, but can sometimes be given by mouth or through a face mask

Sedatives don’t necessarily make the person fall asleep or unaware. It's common that someone who's sedated may be aware of part or all of the procedure.

IV sedation lasts for roughly 15 to 30 minutes after it's been administered. Once the IV sedation is removed, you will begin to feel fine in about 20 minutes.
