Sedation Dentistry: Get Rid of Dental Anxiety & Have a Relaxing Treatment
Case Study “Since my childhood I have had several issues with my teeth and over time, I developed a phobia towards dental treatments or dentists. The last time I went to the dental clinic with severe tooth pain, I was advised to 2 root canal fillings. I was terrified but nevertheless I booked an appointment only in vain. I cancelled the appointment because I could not muster enough courage to go for the treatment.
However, eventually I had to go to the dentist after six months when none of the tooth sensitive toothpastes were not working. I happened to visited Langely Dental Clinic (a professional dental organization dedicated to patient care, from safety to comfort and anxiety-free dental care) and much to my awe, I ended up having a totally relaxing experience, during and after the root canal treatment (RCT).
I chose the oral sedation option as against the IV option still feeling very uncertain, wondering how I would manage it. I came out of the clinic wondering why was I so paranoid, as it was absolutely a different experience, no pain, no hassles. For both teeth I chose oral sedation and was at complete ease. I recommend oral sedation to anyone who has a fear of the dentist” says Irine Salzberg, a patient of Langley Dental Center.
About 30 percent of adults from USA and Canada tend to withdraw from, or postpone dental procedures due to misconception or fear perceived with dental treatments.
Sedation Dentistry - Overview: The use of sedatives to establish a relaxed and calm state is sedation. Sedative medication includes depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, tranquillizers, nitrous oxide, etc. which can be administered in various ways.
Sedation methods have evolved from IV sedation used in the past ( using injections to administer the drug through intravenous methods), to advanced oral sedation that is much more easy and simple to administer and comfortable for the patient.
Sedation Dentistry and its Benefits: Oral Sedation is a commonly used technique in the United States and Canada to allay patients’ phobia prior and during dental procedures. Unlike IV sedation, oral sedation is a more advanced technique involving the administration of oral sedative drugs, generally to facilitate a dental procedure and reduce patients anxiety. The oral medication eases the patients’ stress and feel as if they slept through the treatment, though actually they are awake and conscious (for patient safety and cooperation during the procedure).
This technique helps handle complex dental procedures such as fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, cosmetic procedures and periodontal or implant treatments. These complex procedures which generally require multiple dental office visits, can now be performed in fewer appointments; simply because the patients can sit through the procedure for long hours with hardly any discomfort.
Most dental treatments also require local anesthesia to be administered besides sedation dentistry techniques. Using IV sedation in the mouth help to temporarily block pain impulses from the affected teeth and gum tissues. This common "dental phobia" that most people complain of, can be addressed with sedation dentistry effectively, help them in getting their routine dental care without compromising the health and functionality of their mouth and smile.
