Conscious Sedation vs. General Anesthesia
Conscious sedation is the use of medication to “take the edge off”, but requires that the patient be awake (conscious) during the procedure. When conscious sedation fails or is considered inappropriate for the nature or amount of dental work, deep sedation or general anesthesia is recommended. In the hands of our board certified Anesthesiologist, it is as safe for the patient to receive deep sedation or general anesthesia as it is conscious sedation. With the use of modern, short-acting anesthetics, patients are just as awake and alert after general anesthesia as they are after conscious sedation.
Sedation Options
1. General Anesthesia
General Anesthesia, or sleep dentistry, is the deepest level of sedation administered by means of intravenous and/or inhalation agents. With general anesthesia, the patient is not conscious and does not see, hear, or feel anything. It provides pain relief, and amnesia (so that you don’t remember the details surrounding your dental procedures) all at the same time.
While you sleep, the dentist can perform multiple procedures, including implants or root canals. You’ll wake up with a new smile, with no memory of the procedure being performed. This technique is recommended for very young children, very resistant children, severe dental phobics, and special needs patients who are unable to cooperate for dental treatment.
2. Oral Conscious Sedation
3. Laughing Gas Conscious Sedation
