Is Sedation Typically Used During Oral Surgery

The biggest psychological obstacle for those who have a dental problem is the fear of the dentist, which is either caused by the fear of pain, the noise of dental instruments, or the specific smell in the dental offices. There is a procedure for patients experiencing this type of anxiety to alleviate unpleasant dental experiences and make them feel comfortable with oral sedation dentistry Highlands Ranch offices offer.
Nowadays, conscious sedation techniques are used by the vast majority of dentists. They are suitable for everyone: seniors, adults, and children alike. They can be used in any treatment: caries treatment, prostheses, canal treatments, extractions, gingival treatment, or implantology.
The benefits of conscious sedation
·Being relaxed, the patient actively collaborates with the dentist, which visibly reduces the time required to perform dental treatment and the costs involved.
·It also reduces the amount of painkillers and antibiotics prescribed depending on the number of treatment sessions.
·The relaxing effect is almost immediate, and its disappearance at the end of treatment.
For simple interventions, the administration of nitrous oxide, which is a non-toxic, non-allergenic gas that is not metabolized by the body and therefore has no contraindications, will do just fine. For more complex treatments, mild to moderate sedation and oral or intravenous medication administration may be a better solution.
