However, there are many myths and rumors about dental sedation. Don&#8217;t let misconceptions about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellicottcitysmiles.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">sedation dentistry<\/a> prevent you from seeing your dentist. Here are the answers to 6 common questions to determine if it&#8217;s the right option for you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Is sedation dentistry safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sedation dentistry is safe for most patients with good general health and when administered by a trained dental professional. Choose a dentist that has completed continuing education in dental sedation. They will review your health history and any medications you&#8217;re taking to look for any potential adverse reactions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Will dental sedation \u201cput me to sleep?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most dental sedations don&#8217;t render you unconscious, but it will depend on the type used, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Nitrous Oxide:<\/strong> You will remain awake and alert, but you&#8217;ll reach a high level of relaxation.<\/li><li><strong>Oral Conscious:<\/strong> Although you&#8217;ll remain conscious, it&#8217;s not uncommon for patients to doze off, but you can be awakened easily.<\/li><li><strong>IV Sedation:<\/strong> IV sedation will cause you to fall asleep; however, you can still respond to gentle touch and your dental team&#8217;s verbal instructions.<\/li><li><strong>General Anesthesia:<\/strong> You will be unconscious, but the effects dissipate quickly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your sedation dentist will determine which is best for you based on your needs and treatment plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Who can sedation dentistry help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sedation dentistry is a great option for patients with unique needs or situations, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Dental-related fears or phobias&nbsp;<\/li><li>Lengthy treatment plans<\/li><li>Invasive or multiple procedures&nbsp;<\/li><li>Strong gag reflex&nbsp;<\/li><li>Difficulty keeping the mouth open<\/li><li>Difficulty staying in one position<\/li><li>Anxieties about pain or discomfort&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Will I feel any pain during my appointment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist will strive to keep you comfortable. Sedation can be used along with local numbing agents, but it isn&#8217;t always necessary. At most, you may feel some pressure, but you won&#8217;t have any pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Will I remember anything about my treatment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have fragmented memories if nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation is used. However, IV sedation and general anesthesia are noted for having memory loss effects, which can be a good option for patients with previous negative dental experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Is sedation dentistry right for me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to know for sure if you&#8217;re a candidate for sedation dentistry is by scheduling a consultation with your dentist. They&#8217;ll learn more about your medical history, preferences, and concerns to determine if it&#8217;s right for your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to worry about a painful or stressful day in the dentist\u2019s chair by adding sedation dentistry to your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Monica Tiu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellicottcitysmiles.com\/meet-monica-tiu-dds.html\">Dr. Tiu<\/a> earned her dental degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry and has completed advanced training in dental anesthesiology.
