Oral Sedation
We are fully aware of the fact that some people would rather live with a toothache, or ongoing undiagnosed problem, than visit the dentist to rectify the issue in fear of the associated pain. Eastern Creek SmileCo Dental strive to eliminate this anxiety through specialising in pain free dental techniques.
Oral sedation is a common method used to provide a minimal or moderate level of sedation. As the name suggests, patients take the sedative orally, and remain conscious throughout the procedure. However, it is not uncommon for them to fall in and out of sleep, depending on the type of person and dosage. It also has the ability to reduce the patient’s memory of related sights and smells, which helps to ensure their anxieties are not increased with the next visit.
IV Sedation
IV sedation, or Intravenous sedation, involves the administering of a sedative drug via an injection. It is also commonly referred to ‘sleep dentistry’ or ‘twilight dentistry’. Like oral sedation, this technique does not send patients into an unconscious state – rather making them highly relaxed and drowsy.
