Oral Sedation Has Made A Huge Difference

The improvements in oral sedation technology have added a new dimension to dentistry. Now dentists can perform more than one procedure in a single visit with minimal to no discomfort for the patient. Being able to take a single pill just prior to a dental appointment eliminates the anxiety that many people experience when they think about having to undergo an injection or breath through a mask over their mouth.

Benzodiazepines is a common sedative used in dentistry today. Patients who have experienced the medication have related that not only did they feel no pain but that they had no memory of undergoing the procedure at all. The aspect of time becomes irrelevant when the patient is under the sedative so that an hour long treatment only seems to have taken a few minutes. This factor saves the patient time and money by having fewer sessions in the dental chair.

IV sedation is an alternative for people who require extra strength medication. It can be given safely right in the dentist’s office with the patient being monitored for any change in heart rate and blood pressure. A trained technician can adjust the dosage if necessary.
