Sedation dentistry is a technique used to help patients relax during dental procedures. It involves the use of medication to persuade a state of deep relaxation and reduce anxiety. This can be especially helpful for patients with dental phobia or those enduring lengthy procedures. There are various levels of sedation, ranging from minimal conscious sedation to general anesthesia. The type of methods used for sedation dentistry may include nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, or general anesthesia. These methods work by directing the central nervous system, promoting a feeling of tranquility, and reducing any discomfort or pain.
