  1. How Sedation is Revolutionizing the Patient Experience Innovations in Dentistry

  2. What is sedation? • Sedation is the use of medication to induce a state of calm and relaxation. • There are three main types of sedation used in dentistry: • Nitrous oxide (laughing gas): Nitrous oxide is a gas that is inhaled through a nasal mask. It is a mild sedative that can help children feel relaxed and happy. • Oral sedation: Oral sedation is the use of medication taken by mouth. It is a stronger sedative than nitrous oxide and can help children feel drowsy or even asleep. • Intravenous (IV) sedation: IV sedation is the use of medication injected into a vein. It is the strongest type of sedation and is typically only used for children who are very anxious or who need major dental work.

  3. Benefits of sedation • Sedation can provide a number of benefits for children who are anxious about going to the dentist, including: • Reduced anxiety and fear • Increased comfort and relaxation • Improved cooperation during dental procedures • Reduced pain and discomfort • Decreased risk of dental trauma • Increased likelihood of returning for future dental care

  4. Safety of sedation • Sedation is a safe and effective way to help children who are anxious about going to the dentist. • All pediatric dentists are trained in the safe use of sedation. • We will carefully monitor your child throughout the sedation dentists treatment process to ensure their safety. • In rare cases, there are some potential side effects of sedation, such as nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness. However, these side effects are usually mild and go away quickly.
