What is Sedation Dentistry?
The use of sedation techniques to help anxious patients receive dental treatment comfortably.
Sedation dentistry uses pharmacological agents to calm patients during dental procedures. Options range from minimal sedation (nitrous oxide) through moderate sedation (oral or IV) to deep sedation and general anesthesia. It is essential for patients with dental phobia, special needs, or complex procedures.
