Sedated dentistry offers a variety of benefits for both the patient and the dentist. These include:

An elevated level of tranquil relaxation and comfort in the patient.1

This extends to the sensation of pain that would likely flare up during an intricate procedure like a root canal.

Some procedures require a dental technician to reach far back into the mouth and cause the gag reflex to flare up, sending caustic acid to fly out of the mouth along with the patient's stomach contents.

Patients with a phobia of the dentist, drills, or other common elements of the dental profession may appreciate having little to no recollection of the procedures.
![Page 17: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

A relaxed patient gives the dentist more time to work on that patient's mouth over the span of the appointment.
![Page 19: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The more work that a dentist does on a patient's mouth, the fewer additional appointments will be required of that patient.
![Page 20: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Patients curious about the sorts of approaches involved in sedative dentistry should know that there are several techniques:
![Page 21: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ingested treatments; commonly Halcion, a pill related to the drug Valium.Suppositories.
Gas; commonly nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas."Injection treatments.
![Page 22: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Injection treatments afford the dentist a greater level of control over dosage and can go to work far more quickly than a treatment like Halcion.
![Page 23: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In addition to their approach, dentists can control how deep the sedation takes hold.
![Page 24: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
This can vary from a mild state of relaxation and full consciousness, to a slightly deeper level that tends to result in slurred speech and spotty awareness …
![Page 25: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
… to a deep level of sedation that brings the patient to the border of unconsciousness to a general anesthetic that leaves the patient temporarily unconscious.
![Page 26: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The skill involved in administering deep levels of sedation means that most dentists properly trained in it are specialized in surgery or dental anesthesiology.
![Page 27: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
All sedative dentistry involves an anesthetic, typically a localized drug administered around wherever the procedure will focus.
![Page 28: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Other safeguards and qualifiers for sedated dentistry include:
The dentist should be familiar with your medical history in order to see if there could be any complications with certain sedatives.
![Page 29: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Ask what level of dosage you will receive and if that dosage falls within FDA regulations.
Look into your dentist's training and track record with sedative dentistry.
![Page 30: Scared ask your dentist to sedate you](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020522/579073f21a28ab6874ada5f5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
You should receive a form that covers the risks of the procedure; go over it with your dentist and feel free to ask questions.
Your dentist should have oxygen, countermeasures to the sedative and a way to regularly monitor your vitals during the procedure.
