Conscious sedation is a solution for many patients, both young and old, who are terrified of going to the dentist. This fear often leads them to avoid dental checkups and, consequently, neglect their oral health. We know that maintaining a healthy smile requires regular checkups with a specialist. As a solution to the stress of going to the dentist, and to make the visit a more positive experience, we want to talk to you about conscious sedation.
Conscious sedation is a non-invasive anesthetic method It enjoys a very good reputation and positive feedback from both dental professionals and patients. It is used in a wide range of dental treatments. Unlike general anesthesia, it induces a state of sleep and relaxation without losing consciousness or awareness of one's surroundings. We'll tell you more below.
6 advantages of conscious sedation
- It can be administered by inhalation or intravenously., Depending on the type of treatment received, the application process, as well as the entire time the patient is under the effects of the sedative, is reviewed by a professional anesthesiologist to ensure a positive patient experience.
- It has no side effects. And the patient returns to their natural state in just a few minutes, so you can continue with your routine after receiving the treatment without any impediment.
- Conscious sedation is the solution for those who suffer from or come to the consultation with high levels of anxiety.. It actually causes the opposite effect: relaxation.
- It can be applied to children. We've already discussed the importance of dental health in children. This type of sedation aims to change children's perceptions and experiences at the dental clinic.
- The perception of pain is reduced, It prevents dental phobia and gets the child used to receiving oral care.
