What is sedation in dentistry and how does it work?
Sedation in dentistry — is the introduction of a patient into a state of drug-induced sleep using special drugs. This is not complete anesthesia, but a light or medium immersion in sleep. In this case, breathing, heartbeat and other vital functions are preserved and do not require external support, while the patient does not feel pain and does not remember the surgical intervention.
Sedation can be:
-
Light (superficial). The patient is relaxed, but conscious.
-
Medium. The person is immersed in a drug-induced sleep and does not respond to stimuli.
-
Deep. Requires careful monitoring, as close as possible to anesthesia, but without its risks.
The procedure is accompanied by an anesthesiologist who selects the dose of the drug, monitors blood pressure, breathing, heart rate and oxygen levels in the blood.
What are the benefits of wisdom tooth removal under sedation?
Sedation — is one of the most effective methods of pain relief in modern dentistry. It is especially relevant to use it during complex surgical interventions, such as wisdom tooth removal.
The main advantages of this procedure:
Lack of stress and pain
Safe surgery
Thanks to the patient's calm state, the dentist can work as accurately as possible.
Ideal for patients with phobias
If you are afraid of the dentist, sedation will allow you to undergo the procedure without psychological stress.
Ability to perform multiple procedures simultaneously
For example, removing two wisdom teeth at once in one visit or treating caries.
Faster recovery
Reducing stress has a positive effect on the postoperative period.
How is sedation different from general anesthesia?
Sedation and anesthesia are two different approaches to pain relief.
-
Sedation: the patient is in a state of drug-induced sleep, breathing independently, the body retains reflexes. This is a safe method with minimal stress on the body.
-
General anesthesia: this is a complete loss of consciousness, breathing is usually controlled artificially, serious equipment and inpatient observation after the procedure are required.
Tooth extraction under general anesthesia is usually used only for medical reasons, while sedation is available and safe for a wide range of patients.
