Sedative dentistry is a type of dentistry that employs sedation drugs to assist patients relax during dental treatments. It's also referred to as "sleep dentistry" on occasion.
Sedation dentistry has grown in popularity in recent years, and it has become a cost-effective choice for fearful patients who want all of their dental treatments completed in one visit with the dentist.
Prior to and during a dental treatment with the dentists, sedation dentistry helps to calm and relax the patient. At our Bael dentistry facility, we offer four different sedation dentistry treatment options.
- IV sedation, often known as Sleep dentistry, is a type of sedation that operates faster than oral sedation. Sedation with Nitrous Oxide - Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a very safe and effective sedative that dentists utilise.
- Oral Conscious Sedation - Oral conscious sedation is a dental technique that involves the dentist administering oral sedatives.
- Penthrox sedation - Penthrox sedation is a hand-held device that alleviates pain and anxiety.
