Sedation Dentistry
Incredible Smiles sedation dentistry Incredible Smiles takes the stress out of getting the oral health care you need.
Many individuals are apprehensive about visiting the dentist, particularly those with dental anxiety – a common problem among people of all ages. In some cases, this can result in putting off or avoiding crucial dental treatment.
This is why we offer sedation dentistry as an option with our procedures. It comes in two forms:
- Minimal, inhalation sedation.
- Moderate, intravenous sedation
Inhalation Sedation
Inhalation sedation is categorised as a minimal type of sedation but it’s highly effective in calming nervous dental patients.
You breathe in a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) stimulates pleasant feelings. It works fast and the effects tend to wear off quickly after the procedure, with no side effects.
Intravenous Sedation
Moderate, IV (intravenous) sedation is a step up from minimal sedation. Medication to combat anxiety is injected into the blood system via a vein in the arm or back of the hand. Like laughing gas, IV sedation works quickly.
IV sedation levels can be adjusted according to the type of dental treatment and length of the procedure. Vital signs such as pulse and oxygen levels are monitored throughout, and blood pressure is checked before and afterwards.
IV sedation levels can be adjusted according to the type of dental treatment and length of the procedure. Vital signs such as pulse and oxygen levels are monitored throughout, and blood pressure is checked before and afterwards.
IV sedation is often used to relax patients during wisdom teeth removal and dental implant procedures.
Benefits of Sedation Dentistry
If you’re apprehensive about visiting the dentist, sedation dentistry at our North Adelaide dental practices provides several benefits.
It allows you to get critical oral health care you may otherwise shy away from. It works fast and minimises discomfort. And with IV sedation, you’ll probably remember little if anything about the procedure afterwards.
Because dental sedation makes you more relaxed, your dentist can work more efficiently. This can result in more extensive treatment being carried out in a single appointment.
