Experts estimate that one in five people fear the dentist, experience dental anxiety, or have dental phobia recently or as a result of a negative dental appointment experience as a child.
While nothing can erase your bad dental treatment experience in the past, the latest advances in digital technology and dental materials, combined with sedation dentistry options, enable people with serious dental concerns about going to the dentist to do so and even have a positive treatment experience.
Sedation dentistry begins when full numbness is achieved by applying local anesthesia to the area to be treated before all clinical operations.
Although the local anesthesia procedure ensures that the patients do not feel any pain during the operation, some patients may avoid the treatment because they cannot overcome their fears about the operation. In this case, patients are offered an alternative. Treatment with sedation.
Thanks to this method, the patient does not remember anything because he is in a deep sleep during the operation and the operation is almost over for them in the blink of an eye. Under necessary conditions, with the intervention of the anesthesiologist, the patient falls into a deep sleep.
Although the implant method with sedation is similar to general anesthesia, sedation is a different application from general anesthesia. The patient is put to sleep with the drugs given. The patient does not feel any pain during sleep, but can respond to the doctor’s commands. The patient can breathe openly during sedation.
Sedation Makes Dental Treatments Easier!
The sedative drug administered intravenously to the patient before the operation allows the patient to fall into deep sleep within a few minutes. When the procedure is over, the patient does not remember anything about the treatment.
With this method, the nausea reflex that the patients will experience is also prevented, and since they will not remember anything when they wake up, they will overcome their fears of dental operations.
