What are the different levels and ways of Conscious Sedation Dentistry?

The levels of sedation used include:

Mild sedation – With light and mild sedation you are awake but in relax mode

Moderate sedation means conscious sedation – where you can utter words when speaking and not remember much of the treatment procedure.

Deep sedation – you are on the border of consciousness but can still be in awaken mode.

General anaesthesia – you are completely unconscious means totally in sleep mode where we cannot awake you.

Each of these levels will somewhere help to put you in varied states of relaxation.

There are several ways conscious sedation can be administered:

Inhalation Sedation – This technique involves the use of nitrous oxide also known as laughing gas where you have to breathe in this oxide combined with oxygen mask that will be placed over the patient’s nose. This gas will help you to relax and it also immediately wears off after the treatment and there is no recovery time as well as side effects. It is very low impact sedative, allowing you to drive home yourself following the completion of the procedure.

Oral Sedation – This is a sedative taken in pill form, our dentists may prescribe medications depending on the dosage to provide a light to moderate sedation effect. Usually, a pill will be taken by the patient about an hour before the procedure and will make the patient feel sleepy. Though oral sedatives do not cause sleep, they make you drowsy, usually dull the senses. This form of sedation is an exclusively best choice for people who fear needles.

Intravenous Sedation – This type of sedation procedure is usually used when the patient wants a moderate to deep sedation and also known as the fastest working sedative because it transfers the sedation drugs directly to patient’s bloodstream intravenously producing an effect much sooner. This is why it is important to bring a driver or any care taker to take you driving home.

Teeth whitening

Losing the colour of your teeth is part of the ageing process. Teeth start to change colour from teenage years. Genetics also play a part in white teeth. If your parents have yellow teeth, you are more likely to follow suit. Whitening is for people who suffer from teeth stained by food, drink – mainly red wine, coffee, tea and tobacco without harming their teeth.

Teeth whitening is recommended before party, wedding function, photo session, business meeting etc.

There are two types of teeth whitening techniques to choose from.

Home kit

This does not harm the teeth but slightly changes the composition of the dentine – the part of a tooth that is hard, contains calcium and lies underneath the enamel – making it appear whiter.

How long does it take?: Two to three weeks.

How long does it last?: Between three and six months.

Cost:-4000Rs to 6000Rs

Office kit

How it works : This is fast way to whiten teeth. The dentist use chemical compounds to bleach your teeth and restore their color. Application of whitening gel made from carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide activates the gel pasted onto the enamel of the tooth.

Some people might develop temporary gum inflammation and tooth pain after bleaching.
