In addition to treating dental anxiety, sedation dentistry allows for patients to receive quicker, better, and more relaxing dental care. So what are you waiting for? Read on to learn about the benefits of sedation dentistry besides aiding fearful patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 3 Types of Sedation Dentistry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists usually provide 3 types of sedation, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Nitrous oxide sedation:<\/strong> More commonly known as \u201claughing gas,\u201d nitrous oxide is a type of sedation that is mixed with oxygen and administered through a comfortable nasal mask. Nitrous oxide is tasteless and fast acting, however it\u2019s also the mildest option.<\/li><li><strong>Oral conscious sedation:<\/strong> This is administered through a pill (usually in the Valium family), allowing you to enjoy a moderate level of sedation. You\u2019ll take your medication as your dentist instructs, which is typically about an hour before your appointment. During your visit, you\u2019ll feel totally calm and relaxed to the point you may even fall asleep. Your dentist can wake you with a gentle tap on the shoulder if they need you.<\/li><li><strong>IV sedation:<\/strong> This is the strongest form of sedation. It\u2019s administered intravenously, which makes its effects incredibly quick and easily adjustable. Your dentist will monitor your vitals throughout the treatment to ensure your health and safety.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To see which option is best for you, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact your dentist. They will review your medical history and discuss your needs before making a recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of Sedation Outside of Treating Anxiety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the top benefits you will experience with sedation dentistry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Convenience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the various options for sedation, patients can choose the level that works best for them after speaking with their dentist. Nitrous oxide only works while you\u2019re actively inhaling the gas, so it\u2019s perfect to use during your quick dental appointment at lunch or when you have other plans during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relaxation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have issues with gag reflex? Maybe you just find it uncomfortable for someone\u2019s hands to be in your mouth? Sedation will keep you comfortable and relaxed while also allowing you to give verbal commands when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental visits are often faster when sedation is used because patients are more compliant. Plus, your dentist may even be able to perform multiple treatments during the same appointment. Also, whether you have diagnosed ADHD, or you just get a little restless, sedation will help you stay still while making the time go by faster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make it easy to visit your dentist! Ask about sedation during your next appointment so you can keep your smile healthy and beautiful while loving your dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Rashpal Deol is a highly trained dentist in San Ramon who offers various sedation options.
