Children and Adults may suffer anxiety or even are completely phobic about visiting their dentist for treatment. Sedation dentistry may take away some of their anxiety and can be used for everything from invasive procedures to a simple tooth cleaning.
How it’s used depends on the severity of the fear and so various degrees of dental sedation can be used including conscious sedation with sedatives, inhalation nitrous oxide sedation, and intravenous (IV) sedation. These sedation dentistry techniques enable patients – who might otherwise avoid the dentist to receive necessary dental treatment.
