  1. 5 Basic Dental Sedation Myths Busted Many individuals have misconceptions regarding dental sedation, although nitrous oxide has been used in dentistry for decades. Some people believe that anaesthesia is only used for root canals or major, complicated oral operations. Can you differ fact from fiction? Let's debunk a few dental sedation myths.

  2. 1. Sedation is prohibitively expensive This isn't correct. At Oak Creek Dental Care, we make every effort to keep costs low. Although sedation is usually an extra charge, we'll work with you to keep your treatment within your budget. And the peace of mind that anaesthesia provides throughout your surgery is well worth the money! 2. Sedation's side effects can last for days This is not the case. The anaesthesia from laughing gas goes off in about 5 minutes, so you can get back to your normal routine straight away. Oral conscious sedation and IV sedation, on the other hand, typically last 4-6 hours, while some patients may experience minimal side effects for up to 24 hours. If you undergo oral conscious sedation or IV sedation, you'll need to take the day off work and have someone drive you to and from our clinic. 3. There is only one type of sedation for dental procedures There are three different types of dental sedation. Nitrous oxide, a colourless, odourless gas that relaxes patients during routine dental operations, is perhaps the most popular. The gas is combined with oxygen and inhaled through a tiny mask that fits over the nose comfortably. Other dental sedation options include: Conscious Oral Sedation - A pill taken before your appointment at a specific time. IV Sedation is a type of sedation that is given through the veins (the veins). 4. Children should not be given dental sedation Nitrous oxide is a safe and effective approach to sedating children who need dental treatment, according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Even if your child does not require oral surgery, nitrous oxide can help them sit still or calm down if they have a strong gag reflex. Furthermore, dental sedation can assist children who are terrified of going to the dentist to relax.

  3. 5. Anyone can benefit from dental sedation Sedation dentistry is a fantastic option for most healthy adults who need a root canal or other major dental work. Dental sedation, on the other hand, is not for everyone. Dentists may specifically advise against sedating patients who are: Pregnant. Certain drugs cause an allergic reaction (like benzodiazepines). Having persistent bronchitis or other respiratory problems. Infected with a cold that causes a stuffy nose. Using drugs that may have undesirable side effects when used in conjunction with an oral sedative. In the end, each patient's situation is unique. The number of criteria will determine whether you require dental sedation and, if so, which type of sedation is appropriate for you. Your dentist should explain which type of dental sedation will be used and what to expect before beginning any treatment. To know more visit https://pathwaysdental.com/ or call us on 905.304.4505.
