Sedation dentistry is also known as sleep dentistry, even though you are still conscience. The remedies the sedation dentist uses have a calming and amnesic effect. By offering patients several sedation options to ease the anxiety of dental work, your local Fremont sedation dentist can help you overcome your dental fears. Let's admit, some dental procedures are less than enjoyable, so why not get high on the idea of some happy gas?
Nitrous oxide is also known as laughing gas, sweet air,or as mentioned earlier happy gas. This sedative is commonly used to calm down the dentist nervous and difficult to work on child patients. The sedation dentist fits a special respirator over your nose that stays in place during the entire procedure.This is considered inhalation sedation. Anyone can receive this special gas for dental procedures at a sedation dentist upon request.
Another method a sedation dentist would be the use oral sedatives. Valium, and other like drugs can be taken in pill form by mouth a bit before the sedation dentist starts the procedure. This course has a more heavy sedative than the nitrous oxide. This is an excellent choice for those that are belonephobia (people whom have a fear of needles and/or sharp instruments) and nitrous oxide just isn't enough.
The last, but not least, kind of conscious sedative that your friendly Fremont sedation dentist can provide you with is intravenous sedation. Yes, an IV flowing with anti-anxiety and/or strong pain relievers running through the back of your hand providing utmost dental distress relief. Your sedation dentist can even apply a topical numbing cream on the site where the IV will be placed for painless IV insertion. It is safe, statistically speaking, it is safer than local anesthetic itself.
The sedation does not take the place of a pain reliving local anesthetic. Your sedation dentist will also inject patients with a local where the procedure will be performed. Ensuring a pain and antsy free experience.
Cosmetic dentists also use sedation methods to provide the utmost comfort for their patients. Cosmetic procedures are often time-consuming and can render a patient wary. A cosmetic dentist can receive the necessary training that a sedation dentist needs to provide better patient comfort.
