Sedation
What are the levels of Sedation?
Minimal – A minimally reduced level of cognitive functioning. The patient is able to breathe on their own and respond normally to tactile stimulation and verbal command.
Moderate – A drug-induced reduction of consciousness during which patients can respond to verbal commands and tactile stimulation.
Deep Sedation – A drug-induced reduction of consciousness during which patients cannot easily be aroused but can be by pain or repeated stimulation.
General Anesthesia – The patient is put to sleep and cannot easily be aroused even by pain.
Let Dr. Nasrin Mojaver know your medical history and any medications you are currently taking.
To avoid potential emergency situations your dentist will be monitoring your vital signs to make sure you are responding well to the sedation.
Monitoring should include Oxygenation – Oxygenation saturation. Ventilation – CO2 and respiration rate. Circulation – Heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure. Temperature – Body temperature. Documentation – Documentation should be kept for all drugs, dosages, and administration times. Data from the monitoring devices should be recorded continually.
How Sedation Reduces Fear for Patients?
The medications reduce cognitive functioning (awareness), induce calm and some block memory.
Sedation dentistry can eliminate all those fears for most patients. Instead of feeling trapped in a fearful situation many patients report that the procedure seemed like it only lasted minutes when it could have been hours long. A good experience with sedation will make patients more likely come back when they need further work performed. This also helps to create a positive association with going to the dentist instead of one based in fear.
Patients That Can Benefit Most from Sedation:
Patients with high dental fear or anxiety, who have put off seeking treatment previously because of fear, with physical limitations, jaw trouble who have trouble keeping their mouth open for long periods of time, low pain threshold, severe gag reflex, can’t sit still, need a lot of dental work completed, sensitive teeth and Children.
