Sedation Dentistry in Frederick MD

Sedation Dentistry in Frederick MD

Sedation dentistry involves the use of sedation during dental treatment. A wide range of sedation methods available will ensure that you undergo your dental treatments in a calm and relaxed state of mind. The various sedation methods will induce a dream-like state of deep relaxation that lasts the entire dental procedure.

Before opting for sedation or anesthetic, it is vital to tell our dentist about any medications or any ongoing medical treatments. Before administering the sedation, our dentist Dr.Askari will give you pre-and post-sedation instructions.

Types of Sedation

  • Oral Conscious Sedation

Using sedatives and pain relievers, oral conscious sedation produces a relaxed state of consciousness in a patient and helps reduce pain and discomfort. Patients who are given oral conscious sedation are still aware and can respond to questions during treatment. They express any pain or discomfort they may be having, although they may have little or no memory about the procedure.

  • Nitrous Oxide Sedation

Nitrous oxide, more commonly called "laughing gas," is often used as a conscious sedation during dental procedures. The gas is given with a mixture of oxygen and has a calming effect that helps anxious patients to relax during their dental treatment. Once the process is completed, the nitrous oxide is turned off, and oxygen is administered for 5-10 minutes to help remove any remaining gas. The effects of the gas will wear off almost instantaneously. Nitrous oxide very rarely causes any side effects, although some patients may experience slight nausea and constipation.
