Conscious Sedation Treatment In Bangalore

Dental fear and anxiety, leading as they do to avoidance of dental treatment, are the two primary causes of stress during dental procedures.

The dentist uses conscious sedation, a safe and effective technique, to manage dental pain and anxiety. It involves the use of nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) as an inhalation anesthetic agent. Nitrous oxide is an effective analgesic/ anxiolytic agent.
Nitrous oxide inhalation helps in for diminution or elimination of pain and anxiety in a conscious patient. During the use of this agent the patient’s response to verbal commands and protective reflexes remain unchanged. It allows the patient to tolerate unpleasant procedures by reducing or relieving anxiety, discomfort or pain.
