Conscious Sedation

Conscious Sedation

Many people, both adults and children, experience stress or real anxiety when they visit the dentist. So much so, that they even avoid going to their checkups and appointments, to avoid the distress that happens every time they cross the door of a dental clinic. In order to facilitate the comfort and well-being of people suffering from phobia or anxiety in their visits to the dentist, Smart Dental has incorporated Conscious Sedation into its services.

• WHAT IS DENTAL SEDATION?

  Dental sedation is a technique that allows by medication to calm and relax the patient during the dental treatment. Treatment with dental sedation is especially indicated in people who are very nervous or afraid of the dentist. We use it very often and especially in cases of dental implants and complex extractions.

• SEDATION TO OVERCOME DENTIST FEAR

  At Smart Dental we offer this technique of conscious sedation with all the necessary permits for current health regulations. Many patients confuse conscious sedation with general anesthesia. With general anesthesia the patient is unconscious and artificial ventilation is necessary.

  Instead in conscious sedation the patient is conscious – awake and keeps all his reflexes intact, being able to respond to dentist orders and facilitate dental treatment such as keeping the mouth open.
