Sedation
For many people, seeing a dentist can be an emotional and frightening event. For some young children or those with a disability, it can be nearly impossible to tolerate a dental procedure. Whether due to fear and anxiety, disability, or difficulty with compliance, a dental appointment with sedation may be the solution.
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Laughing Gas is the lowest level of sedation offered; it is often very effective in individuals with mild dental anxiety
Oral Sedation
Oral Sedation also provides a mild twilight sensation and an amnesiac effect; most patients feel very relaxed and have little recollection of their procedure
IV Conscious Sedation
IV Sedation is a type of conscious sedation that gives a feeling of relaxation and also has an amnesiac effect; although they are not asleep and able to respond to questions and commands, most people have little to no memory of the appointment later on
General Anaesthesia
General Anaesthesia (GA) is the most profound level of sedation available in dentistry. This is the same type of sedation used in hospital procedures. The patient is unconscious and unresponsive until recovery after the procedure. Normally, this is the type of sedation used on children and also adults who do not respond well to conscious sedation (IV)
