Sleep Dentistry
Sleep dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry, involves using medications or inhalational gasses help patients relax during dental procedures. While it's sometimes referred to as "sleep dentistry," most patients are awake during the procedure, except for those performed under general anesthesia. Sedation levels can vary from mild to deep sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's degree of consciousness and the complexity of the procedure.

Candidates For Sedation Dentistry
- Patients needing dental interventions in one session
- Patients with fear or anxiety about dental procedures.
- Individuals with a strong gag reflex that makes dental procedures challenging.
- Those with a low pain threshold who may experience discomfort during treatment.
- Patients who have difficulty sitting still in the dental chair for extended periods.
- Patients with highly sensitive teeth who may experience pain or discomfort easily during treatment.
Sedation dentistry is generally safe, but like any medical procedure involving anesthesia, there are risks to consider. It's crucial for the dentist to have a comprehensive understanding of the patient's medical history and current health status. Patients who are obese or have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) should obtain consent from a physician before undergoing sedation dentistry. During the procedure, constant supervision by an anesthesiologist and the dentist is necessary to ensure the patient's safety and well-being.
