What do you mean by Sedation Dentistry?

Sedation dentistry makes use of sedative medications to achieve intense relaxation or sleep, which helps in completing the oral treatments without any fear, anxiety or discomfort. The techniques we offer are oral conscious sedation and lV sedation. With oral sedation, you will remain conscious during the treatment but also relaxed. IV sedation allows you to sleep during the treatment and you wake up with the completed procedure.

Types of Sedation Dentistry options available

Given below are two of them offered:

  1. Oral conscious Sedation

This is a small tablet taken before the treatment begins, which helps in relaxing you. It keeps you comfortable and free of anxiety during the treatment. You will remain in the state of relaxation but conscious and will be able to respond to the dentist’s instructions.

  1. IV Sedation

With this sedative, you remain asleep throughout the treatment, unaware of the procedure going on. We have a highly trained team who tracks your important signs and monitors your safety concerns very well throughout the treatment.

Does Sedation Dentistry have any side effects?

The most common side effects you are going to experience after sedation dentistry is enervation and grogginess which is temporary. As the sedatives leave your body system, these side effects start fading within a few hours. The memory of you getting treated may not be clear or completely absent, which is a reasonable outcome of these sedatives. Some not so common side effects are feeling lightheaded, dizzy, headache, dry mouth or nausea. These responses are not common but not considered as abnormal. They resolve fast on their own.

The niggling effects caused by oral conscious and IV sedation makes it essential for any of your family members or friends to be present during the treatment to drive you home after the care. Assistance may also be needed when you arrive home and get settled. It’s recommended to clear your schedule and take rest until the effect of sedatives is eliminated.

What is the Cost of Sedation Dentistry?

The price of your treatment will depend on your specific requirements. Before the treatment, we will have to make a complete medical evaluation and analysis of your concerns before you are given any sedatives. The consulting cost for this is approximately 60 dollars. At the end of the treatment, you will be given the details of the cost of your dental treatment along with the cost of sedation services. The most significant factor in calculating the price is the type of sedation and length of time. We wish that our patients get accessibility to dental treatment and sedatives what they wish for.
