Sedation Dentistry
Conscious sedation is used to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental or medical procedures while staying awake. It involves various methods to reduce anxiety and discomfort:
- Oral Sedation: Medication is taken by mouth to help calm the patient.
- Nitrous Oxide: Also known as "laughing gas," this is inhaled through a mask to induce relaxation.
Benefits include reduced anxiety and discomfort, with patients remaining conscious and able to communicate. Recovery time is generally short, with effects wearing off quickly.
