Do you get stressed out when you think about visiting the dentist? Do you feel anxious or uncomfortable while you sit in the dental examination chair? Taking care of your oral health is important, and it shouldn\u2019t be a difficult experience! Fortunately, you can sit back and relax while your dentist works on your smile thanks to sedation dentistry in Burien<\/a>. With nitrous oxide sedation or oral conscious sedation, you won\u2019t need to deal with any of the worries or fears that you typically might during a dental visit. Read on to find out what you can expect if you choose to opt for sedation dentistry during your next appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Does Dental Sedation Put You To Sleep?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When faced with a particularly nerve-wracking treatment or procedure, many patients ask, \u201ccan you put be to sleep or knock me out?\u201d While this may seem like an easy solution at first, being fully unconscious for any treatment comes with a certain level of risk. Sedation dentistry offers nearly all of the benefits you\u2019re looking for at a much safer and gentler level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nitrous oxide sedation and oral conscious sedation, you\u2019ll remain aware enough to answer simple questions and follow basic instructions. You\u2019ll also be completely oblivious to the sights, sounds, and sensations that would normally cause you anxiety or discomfort. Some patients are so relaxed with nitrous oxide sedation that they drift off to sleep, but can be easily awoken when needed. Many patients don\u2019t remember much, if anything, about their time with dental sedation, as if they had been asleep the whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nitrous Oxide Sedation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nitrous oxide is the lightest form of sedation dentistry. You\u2019ll breathe in an invisible and odorless gas via a small mask on your nose, and in moments, you\u2019ll begin to feel its effects. Most patients feel a light, airy, and sometimes tingly sensation. You\u2019ll also likely feel happy and content, completely at-ease as your dental team works on your smile. When your treatment is complete, the mask will be removed and you\u2019ll return to your normal level of alertness within just a few minutes. You\u2019ll be able to go back to the rest of your day uninterrupted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oral Conscious Sedation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oral conscious sedation can help patients achieve a deeper level of relaxation than nitrous oxide. You\u2019ll take a specially-prescribed medication by mouth before your appointment. Gradually, you\u2019ll begin to feel more and more relaxed. Once you arrive to your appointment, the sedative will be in full effect. Many patients report a heavy-feeling in their extremities, and it\u2019s not uncommon for patients to drift off to sleep. With oral conscious sedation, patients are very unlikely to remember anything about their treatment. In fact, you will still feel quite groggy after your appointment, so you\u2019ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every patient\u2019s experience with sedation dentistry is unique, but you can rest assured knowing that your dentist and their team will do everything they can to keep you safe and comfortable while they provide the dental care you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
