One of the most common
notions of dentistry
is the pain of dental procedures. This creates fear in the idea of
going to dentists, especially for children. That’s why part of a
dentist’s mission is to find ways for patients to overcome this
fear so that the delicate operations can be conducted without other
problems.
Aside from utilizing
psychological methods, dentists developed the idea of sedation
dentistry to help some patients alleviate the pain when undergoing
dental procedures. The idea behind sedation dentistry is the use of
calming agents to relax a patient. The client is conscious during the
operation but may not feel its effects until after the procedure is
done. Sedation dentistry has different types based on the amount of
sedation needed. From mild sedation to moderate and heavy sedation,
the reasoning for this depends on the type of dental operation the
patient needs.
Sedation dentistry also
has varying forms depending on the dental facility. Some offices use
pills to calm their patients. Others use gases that will sedate a
patient, while some may still use the traditional anesthesia.
Sedation dentistry is
one among the many ways dentists are doing to help their patients
when going to dental clinics. The stigma of pain is quite prevalent
in the dental industry, which is why dentists do their bests to
recreate their reputation.
