Sedation dentistry helps you feel calm, relaxed and at ease during dental procedures. It’s a moderate level of sedation, so you’re still technically awake but feeling very carefree. It’s sometimes called conscious sedation dentistry or “twilight sleep” because it creates a state of short-term amnesia (forgetfulness) where you experience insensitivity to pain without the loss of consciousness.
People of all ages can benefit from sedation dentistry, including children. Dentists often recommend this option for those with:
Oral sedation involves the administration of medication, usually in the form of a pill or liquid, to induce a state of relaxation and reduce anxiety in dental patients. It is commonly used for patients with dental phobia or anxiety about dental treatment.
Oral sedative medications, such as benzodiazepines or antihistamines, are taken by mouth before the dental appointment. These medications act on the central nervous system to produce feelings of calmness and relaxation, helping patients feel more comfortable during dental procedures.
When administered by a qualified dental professional, oral sedation is generally safe and well-tolerated. The dentist will carefully evaluate the patient's medical history, allergies, and current medications to determine the appropriate type and dosage of sedative medication.
