1. SEDATION
DENTISTRY

2. Many people possess phobia for their dental
procedures soo much that they are extremely
vulnerable and possess extreme discomfort
towards the treatment.

3. • Sedation dentistry includes techniques to
either calm a patient before and during a
dental procedure or to make patients more
comfortable during long procedures.
• The pharmacological agents (sedatives),
depresses the central nervous system,
specifically those areas concerned
with conscious awareness.

4. • Actually, you will remain conscious during
conscious sedation. You will also be able to
understand and respond to requests.
However, you may not remember much
about the procedure.

5. Phases Of Sedation
• Minimal sedation - you are awake but relaxed.
• Moderate sedation / Conscious sedation - you are
awake but you speech is slurred, and you may or may
not remember much of the procedure.
• Deep sedation - you are asleep and can still breathe
on your own but can't remember anything about the
procedure afterwards.
• General anesthesia - you are completely unconscious,
your reflexes are absent and you need assistance in
breathing.

6. What Types of Sedation Are Used
in Dentistry?

7. Inhaled Sedation
• The most common form of sedation in the dental
office used to relax patients during dental procedures
is Nitrous Oxide, or "laughing gas." Also called
“inhalation analgesia”.

8. • It is combined with oxygen, through a mask that's
placed over your nose and you just have to breathe
the gas. You’ll be conscious while taking the gas and
the dentist can control the amount of sedation you
receive. It wears off very quickly once you stop
breathing it in.
• The effects are very mild and you may be able to
drive yourself home after the procedure. It is very
safe and often local anesthesia can be used in
combination with nitrous oxide.

9. Oral sedation (Conscious Sedation)
• It provides minimal to
moderate sedation and is
most commonly associated
with sedation dentistry. It
involves taking a prescribed
dose of sedative before the
procedure.
• You would be taking the pill as
directed by your dentist or
doctor.

10. • You will feel the effects after
about 30 to 60 minutes and
your breathing, blood pressure,
heart rate will be constantly
monitored by the clinician.
• Some people can actually fall
asleep during the procedure,
though, can be awakened with
a gentle shake.
• Most patients remember either
very little or nothing at all of
the appointment after it’s
happened.

11. • Often recommended for people who have
higher levels of anxiety, benefit from this
type of dentistry.
• The sedative will leave you feeling sleepy, but
by the next day all the effects will have worn
off.
• You’ll need a ride home accompanying a
friend / family from the clinic.

12. IV Sedation (Conscious Sedation)
• Intravenous or ‘IV' sedation is
given by injection, through a
vein either in the back of your
hand or in your arm.
The dose will depend on the
amount of treatment needed
and how long it will take to
complete.

13. • IV sedation is used for patients who have more
severe dental anxiety, special needs, or other health
issues. You become drowsy and are not aware of
having any treatment, but you are still able to co-
operate with the dentist.
• The effects take some time to wear off and your
dentist will tell you how long the drugs will take to
clear from your body. You need to have someone
bring them to and from their appointment and stay
with them for the remainder of the day won't be
able to drink alcohol, drive or work during this time.

14. General Anesthesia
• It is not common in
sedation dentistry.
• Only patients who needs
to undergo major surgical
procedures, or who are
resistant to other types
of sedation, will need
general anesthesia.

15. • With general anesthesia, you’re totally
unconscious and cannot be easily awakened
until the effects of the anesthesia wear off or
are reversed with medication.
• This kind of sedation needs to happen in a
hospital or a specialized clinic with an
anesthesiologist administering the sedative
and monitoring your vital signs.

pressure.

home. It is recommended that you have someone
with you for the remainder of the day until you are

20. How safe is sedation?
• Until and unless administered by experienced
professional, there is always some risk
associated with sedation.
• But when it’s, like our Dr Sachdeva’s Facial
Aesthetic Team, it is extremely safe.

21. • What are the drugs that are used?
• Benzodiazepine, usually midazolam, is used. A
typical IV session takes up to 1 1/2 hours.
• Is it necessary to be numbed with local
anaesthetic inspite of being sedated?
• In reality, the drugs which are usually used for
IV sedation are not painkillers. While they
relax you, you will still need to be numbed.

22. What if a person is needle phobic too ?
• If you are needle phobic there may be other
sedation options, like sublingual (under the
tongue) drugs, or inhalation sedation (nitrous
oxide inhalation).
• But all of this will depend on the medical
history of the patient and suitability to use
these sedation methods.

23. • How much is the cost for undergoing sedation
dentistry?
• The cost of sedation depends on the method
used for your treatment whichever suits you
best and medically apt for you.
