What is sedation?
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is the addition of medication to encourage you to relax during a dental procedure. It is sometimes called "sleep dentistry", although that is not completely accurate. You will usually be awake with most sedations with the exception of being under general anesthesia.
You are awake but relaxed with no anxiety.
You might slur your words when speaking and not remember too much of the procedure.
You are right on the edge of consciousness yet can still be awakened.
You are totally unconscious.
Traynor Periodontics & Implants provides a variety of surgical and non-surgical services for the treatment of periodontal issues. We are well-known for our excellent communication style and warm presence. We are extremely effective with all clinical practices due to our consistent engagement with the innovative, technological improvements in the dental industry. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary. Call Traynor Periodontics & Implants at 203-661-5885 with any questions or to make an appointment regarding sedation dentistry.
Undergoing an intensive dental treatment like a root canal, an extraction, or oral surgery can be somewhat stressful. With the addition of sedation dentistry, when your treatment is finished, you may have no idea of the time it took, any startling noise, or any discomfort you were expecting. Traynor Periodontics & Implants is pleased to offer to you the option of safe, comfortable, and effective sedation dentistry. You will benefit from sedation dentistry if you have:
- Any fear or anxiety of being at the dental office.
- A difficulty sitting still and quiet for extended periods of time.
- A challenging time both getting and staying numb from dental anesthetics.
At Traynor Periodontics & Implants, we offer various dental sedations
The Different Dental Sedation Levels
At Traynor Periodontics & Implants, we offer various dental sedations. Our comprehensive options include four levels, local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and intravenous sedation. The sedation best suited for you will be in response to the potential intensity of procedure you are undergoing. Most often, you will fall into one of three sedation type categories.
If your primary objective is to relieve your anxiety, then mild sedation will be the preferred choice. Mild sedation will not only decrease your anxiety level, but it will also reduce the level of discomfort associated with the procedure. In many cases, it eliminates any discomfort or pain completely.
If your procedure is more intensive, than a medium sedation is usually performed. When you have medium sedation, you enter into a much deeper state of relaxation. Sometimes this sedation can have the capacity to induce some mild amnesia. If we together choose this as your sedation option, you will not be driving yourself home after your procedure. It will be necessary to have someone available to drive you home.
Some procedures might be conducted better if you are in a deep level of sedation. The simple justification for this is that anything less would make the procedure exceedingly more difficult to perform from a reasonably, practical sense. This is referred to as heavy sedation. The overall experience for you is remarkably similar to a relaxing, deep sleep. You most likely will experience amnesia and be unable to recall any events that have occurred during the procedure. It will also be necessary for you to have someone to drive you home.
