What is IV and Oral Sedation?

Dental sedation involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures, reducing anxiety and discomfort.

Common types include nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild relaxation, oral sedation for moderate calming, IV sedation for deeper relaxation, and general anesthesia for complex procedures requiring the patient to be fully asleep. It is particularly useful for individuals with dental anxiety, low pain tolerance, or when undergoing lengthy treatments.
