subject: Taking The ouch Away From Dental Procedures [print this page] Some people realized the fact that they need to visit their dentists sooner or later. But with their fear weighing them down, the trip to the dentist is either always skipped or the patient procrastinates and will tell himself that he will do it some other time. But doing this will only worsen the problem in your dental health. Luckily, the use of sedation in dentistry becomes a solution for people who froze at the thought of a dental visit.
Sedation dentistry is a technique used for patients who have high levels of anxiety during a dental visit. Sedation dentistry involves several kinds of technique depending upon the patient's level of fear. There is the conscious sedation, intravenous or IV sedation and the use of inhalation of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas to sedate the patient, and allows the dentist to do his work.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation is used to patients through inhalation along with anesthesia to minimize the pain. This technique will put the patient in a relaxed manner. Nitrous oxide had been discovered over a hundred years ago, but dentists only utilized it today. Nitrous oxide is normally used to children.
