You are\nrelaxed enough to ease any emotional or physical discomfort but awake enough to\nrespond to instruction. Three common types of sedation are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Nitrous oxide.<\/strong> This light sedative is also\nknown as laughing gas. Moments after being inhaled, it lets patients feel light\nand at ease throughout their treatment.<\/li><li><strong>Oral conscious sedation<\/strong>. If needed, your\ndentist can prescribe a slightly stronger sedative to be taken before or at\nyour appointment. You\u2019ll quickly feel deeply relaxed and comfortable, and you\nmay not remember your appointment afterwards. &nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>IV sedation.<\/strong> With the help of a sedative\nadministered directly into the bloodstream, you\u2019ll feel as though you\u2019ve slept\nthrough the whole procedure. Your dentist will closely monitor you to ensure\nyou\u2019re as comfortable as possible, but not completely unconscious.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost anyone who has difficulty being comfortable or at\nease in a dentist\u2019s chair can benefit from sedation dentistry. This includes\nthose who have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dental anxiety or a previous traumatic dental\nexperience.<\/li><li>Sensitive teeth or gag reflexes.<\/li><li>A disability or injury that makes sitting for\nlong periods of time uncomfortable. <\/li><li>An extensive amount of dental work to be done in\none appointment. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sedation dentistry has helped many people overcome whatever is holding them back from proper dental care.
