Oral or Inhalation Sedation
Many people find going to the dentist a stressful experience. Whether that stress and fear is due to a past bad experience or not, oral or inhalation sedation can make the next dental visit easier.
The inhalation sedation your dentist uses is a light form of sedation, and it is typically used for patients who are fearful or anxious in the dental office. As the name implies, the sedation is administered through a nose inhalation, and the patient stays awake and responsive throughout the procedure. At the same time, the sedation takes the edge off and helps the patient relax.
Patients are able to breathe on their own throughout the procedure, and the effects of the sedation are typically last only a short time. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities within a few hours.
