What Does Sedation Dentistry Entail?

Sedation dentistry is a process that our professionals use to relax our patients through the use of pharmacology, either before or during a procedure. It is also known as sleep dentistry. Total sedation occurs when our dentists place anesthesia, after ensuring that we comply with the legal guidelines to do so, and our specialized and qualified professionals in anesthesiology will perform this procedure.

There are several techniques used in sedation dentistry, among which the minimal sedation stands out, where our patient is awake but cannot feel pain, followed by moderate sedation where unconsciousness is slight, our patient can speak but will not remember much of the procedure. In deep sedation, our patient is asleep but can be easily awakened, unlike general anesthesia, where unconsciousness is complete.
