Receiving Sedation Dentistry

Let's be honest about it: no one truly likes the sight of a needle

, no matter the circumstances. For many, the memory of a needle is directly associated with getting a tetanus shot as a child, or having one's blood drawn, and being forced to watch it fill up tiny plastic bottles. Whatever the interaction you had last with a needle, chances are what you were so afraid of in sight, was not as bad once it happened, but that doesn't really matter. The idea of pain is always going to exist no matter how many times you watch a slender needle go in. Yet, there are some instances where one will find that a needle can actually lead to stopping pain, to getting painkillers into your system. This can be done in a variety of ways, but in many instances, the case in point is an anesthesia, and it will be sedation dentistry that introduces you.

There was a long time where patients of a dentist either had to bear their surgeries free of any painkillers or they were treated heavily with numbing ointments and numbing shots, which were of course used by large painful needles.

Today, these numbing techniques are still used due to their affordability and their oft covered insurance plan.

However, they can be less convenient than one realizes when you consider what goes on during the performance of an oral surgery.

While undergoing surgery of most any kind inside a dentist's office, one generally will run into the same familiar routine. They will first be propped up into a chair that is more plastic than comfort, be flashed with a bright light, and then asked to hold open their mouths for hours, just trying to force while not using one's lips, and all the while in pain.

Now, do not think that on the doctor's end anything is in any way better. The dentist is putting up with a patient's continually shutting lips, the draining of saliva out of their workspace, and keeping the patient calm while performing a very difficult surgery in a very cramped and precarious location on the body.

No way no how could both a dentist and a patient be thinking that this is the way to experience a surgery, and that is when sedation dentistry walks right through the door to make everything better. We mean, what could be better in the face of oral surgery than being put to sleep unknowing of what is happening and wake as if only a few minutes have passed? And the dentist has to be thrilled to have a clear work space with which to get in, get out, and not get hurt or cause hurt.

Ultimately, one should rely on the recommendation of a doctor and by finding out what kind of insurance coverage they have in terms of using sedation dentistry. However, if the doctor is open to the idea, and your insurance will give you at least partial coverage, you have to go for it.
