Conscious Sedation Dentistry In Bangalore
A visit to a dental clinic is always considered to be a nerve racking experience whether for adults or children.
Pain and fear are the two main contributing reasons for any dental procedure to be stressful. Hence dental fear and anxiety leads to avoidance of dental treatment.
We at Lifetime Dental have found a way to overcome this vicious cycle by introducing the use of conscious sedation in our practice.
Conscious sedation is a safe and effective technique that is used 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.
GOALS:
when used in a dental setting Nitrous oxide inhalation serves any of the following goals.
- To reduce or eliminate fear and anxiety
- To instill a positive attitude towards dental care
- To raise the pain reaction threshold
- To decrease patient fatigue and increase the efficiency of the operator/ dentist specially forlong appointments
- To help control a vomiting sensation
- Minimize the extremes of disruptive behavior.
