Sedation Dentistry

Sedation Dentistry in Louisville, KY

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation is a management technique that utilizes oral medications and sometimes nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to create a state of sedation (relaxation and at times unawareness). This technique is advantageous for patients that have mild anxiety and fear. This technique may be used for children and adults depending upon the behavior of the child and the level of anxiety of the adult patient. Oral sedation is not recommended for very young children, has varying levels of success, and may be inadequate for most people.

Moderate / Conscious
Sedation Dentistry in Louisville, KY

Moderate or Conscious sedation dentistry is commonly used for patients who may feel anxious or fearful during complex procedures such as root canals, cleanings, or even fillings.

With moderate/conscious sedation the patient experiences less anxiety, discomfort, and pain during their procedure. This is accomplished through a variety of methods including the use of medications and local anesthesia.

Sedation dentistry allows the patient to relax and undergo procedures that may otherwise not be feasible. With moderate sedation, the patient may get tired and may not remember the procedure.
