Sedation Dentistry
Ways to Use Sedation Dentistry
We often use sedation dentistry as part of pediatric care for children. Younger patients who require cavity treatments or tooth extraction can benefit from sedation dentistry. In addition, teens and adults who are afraid of the dentist may want sedation dentistry when dealing with dental work. Sedation dentistry is a common practice legally prescribed as a part of dental treatments.
Type of Medication in Sedation Dentistry
Several types of medications may be used in sedation dentistry. These include:
- Pill medications, such as Valium or lorazepam
- Liquids for oral dosing, particularly for children in pediatric dentistry
- Injections, such as morphine or fentanyl
- Gas, such as laughing gas
The way sedation medications are given to the patient will depend on several factors. Laughing gas is one of the most common treatments used for sedation dentistry.
