Temporary Relaxation at the Dentist’s Office

If you are having problems with licensed professionals working over your teeth, nothing may be done to relieve the severe oral discomfort you are experiencing. When solutions are sorely needed to fix your teeth without you having to relive the perceived “horror in the chair” all over again, a skilled Philadelphia sedation dentist can help. Some experts state that dental sedation is implemented only according to the level that matches your condition during the initial assessment for the procedure.
 Light and Easy
Many dental patients are often anxious about the procedures they’re about to undergo, and your dentist may recommend anxiolysis to help. The process involves using either a small burst of nitrous oxide or a light-potency oral sedative. The medicine may be effective at eliminating the anxiety.
Mild
Mild conscious sedation is the minimal level needed for many elective, cosmetic, or restorative dental procedures. Oral sedatives of a slightly stronger potency are used at this level. You will not fall asleep after taking the medication, but you may be moderately relaxed. However, the light potency can still not block out memories of a procedure, and so may still trigger anxieties in more severe cases.
The Whole Nine Yards
You have little chances of remembering what happened in the procedure if your bouts of severe anxiety warranted a higher level of sedation. Deep sedation can be recommended and carried out at this stage by a licensed anesthesiologist.
