Types of Sedation

There are several types of sedation used in dentistry, including:

IV Sedation:

This involves administering sedatives intravenously to achieve a deeper level of sedation. Patients will still be conscious, but they will be in a more relaxed and dream-like state.




Oral Sedation:

This involves taking a prescribed medication before the dental procedure to help the patient feel relaxed and comfortable. The medication is usually taken in pill form and can range from mild to moderate sedation.

General Anesthesia:

This involves the use of powerful medications to induce unconsciousness, rendering the patient entirely unaware of the procedure.
