Sedation
Comfort and Relaxation
What Is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation is like a cozy blanket for your nerves during dental procedures. It helps you feel relaxed and at ease, making your visit to the dentist a breeze.
Types of Dental Sedation
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
This is the happy gas! You breathe it in through a comfy nose mask, and it helps you feel calm and relaxed while still being fully aware.
Oral Sedation
Take a pill and let your worries melt away! This type of sedation helps you feel drowsy and calm during your appointment.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation
It’s like a gentle wave of relaxation flowing through your veins. Perfect for those who need a bit more help feeling at ease during dental work.
General Anaesthesia
This one’s like taking a cozy nap while your dentist works their magic. You’re peacefully asleep throughout the entire procedure, usually done at a hospital.
