Sedation Dentistry is a specialized approach used to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. It involves the use of medications to calm anxiety and reduce discomfort, making it easier for patients to undergo treatments they might otherwise avoid due to fear or stress. There are different types of sedation, including nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas), oral sedatives, and intravenous (IV) sedation. Each method varies in its level of sedation and duration, allowing dentists to tailor the experience to the individual needs of the patient, ensuring a more pleasant visit to the dentist.
