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.
