What is Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation or “sleep” dentistry can also be called painless dentistry. Any dental treatment that is performed while you are sedated or unconscious is part of sedation dentistry. Pharmacological agents are administered into your body to slow down your conscious awareness during the dental treatment.

Your dentist uses sedation not only address the pain. It is also administered to address your nervous feeling of getting major dental work.

Sedation is not recommended for every dental patient, but it is particularly suitable for:
  • Patients with dental anxiety
  • Fear of the dentist or dental fear or phobia
  • Fear of dental pain
  • Special or non-cooperative patients who need dental treatment (e.g. young children)
  • Those who need multiple extractions
  • Patients who require sedation dental surgery such as bone grafts or sinus lift for dental implant placement

Here are some perks of sedation dentistry:
  • More comfort during dental treatment
  • Lower cost
  • You won’t even know you had a major dental procedure
  • More patient cooperation for patients with anxiety
  • Easier for the dentist to perform treatment
  • Saves time for both the dentist and patient

How is Sedation Performed?

Except for Oral Sedation, all the sedation procedures are performed by an Anesthesiologist present during your dental procedure or oral surgery.  Anesthesiologists are medical doctors that have a specialty in administering a variety of anesthetics to medical and dental patients.

The Anesthesiologist administers the sedation and monitors your vitals while your dentist completes your dental work.

There are various options for how to sedate a dental patient, which are summarized as follows:

Considerations for Sedation

Before choosing any dental treatment that requires sedation, there are certain factors to consider.

You need to be in relatively good health in order to be a successful candidate for sedation dentistry.
Some of the factors that can contribute to contraindications are:
  • Heavy smoking
  • Heart disease like such as hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias
  • Uncontrolled diabetes

Your dentist will check your overall health and blood work before you undergo deep sedation procedures such as IV and general anesthesia.
