Experience Sleep Dentistry Without Fear Consultation Changes Everything
There are several types of sedation used in sleep dentistry, each tailored to meet different needs:
- Minimal Sedation: This involves taking a pill, usually Halcion, which makes you feel drowsy but still awake.
- Moderate Sedation: Often administered through IV, this type of sedation makes you less aware of the procedure and may cause you to slur your words.
- Deep Sedation: You are on the edge of consciousness but can still be awakened if necessary.
- General Anesthesia: This is a complete state of unconsciousness used for more extensive procedures.
Each type has its benefits and is chosen based on the complexity of the procedure and the patient's level of anxiety. It's essential to discuss your options with a qualified dentist to determine the best approach for your needs.
