Leave with a smile you love.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Winterholler Dentistry, we offer the highest levels of comfort and care available in one location. From sedation to anesthesia to nitrous oxide, we offer you the best solution available all in the comfort of your dentist office. Sedation options are available in our Scottsdale and Payson locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>General Sedation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sedation is a safe, effective option that helps patients feel calm and relaxed in the dental chair. It also makes it easier for your dentist to give you higher quality care. Best of all, many insurance companies cover sedation and there are a variety of types to fit your need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General sedation is the broad term used to describe sedation at hospitals and dental clinics. It usually leaves the patient in some form of an unconscious or unaware state and can take the form of an inhaled gas or an injected liquid. There are three basic levels of sedation used in dentistry, in addition to complete unconsciousness (which is primarily used in hospitals):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mild:<\/strong> You\u2019ll feel little or no pain and be able to respond to most commands like you normally would.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Moderate:<\/strong>&nbsp; Also known as \u201cconscious sedation,\u201d this also involves no pain, but you\u2019ll respond via verbal or light stimulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deep:<\/strong>&nbsp; This is known as \u201csleep dentistry\u201d and you don\u2019t respond to anything but painful stimulation, which is rare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients with moderate and deep sedation tend to not even remember the procedure, which adds even more peace of mind. There are also a variety of sedative combinations that can be used to put the patient more at ease. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asdahq.org\/\">American Society of Dentist Anesthesiologists (ASDA)<\/a>, \u201cmost dental cases can be done under local anesthesia alone or sometimes in conjunction with an oral sedative and nitrous oxide sedation.\u201d Each of these types of sedation has a unique use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IV Sedation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a form of moderate or deep sedation that uses an injected liquid, usually administered through the veins on the top of your hand or inner elbow. Since it involves a needle, it\u2019s not as common as oral sedation, but is more effective at controlling your anxiety and peacefulness. IV sedation is ideal for the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>It leaves you in a completely relaxed state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It lets you receive high-quality dentistry in less time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It controls gag reflex.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The next day, you\u2019ll remember little to nothing of your appointment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, IV sedation is ideal for major procedures, those with a high amount of dental anxiety and those who would like to have multiple procedures done during the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oral Sedation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral sedation is usually mild and is the most popular form of sedation used by dentists. In fact, millions of people are prescribed oral sedatives by dentists and doctors every day. Usually taken by mouth in the form of medication, oral sedation is just as effective at reducing or eliminating pain and helping patients feel calm and relaxed. Best of all, it\u2019s very little risk. Here are some other benefits of oral sedation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>It does not carry many side effects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It allows the dentist and dental staff to better monitor you throughout the procedure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s a great alternative for people with a fear of needles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You remember little to nothing of your time at the dental clinic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral sedation has been used for decades is ideal for most dental procedures, as the vast majority of patients are pleased with the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nitrous Oxide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commonly known as \u201claughing gas,\u201d nitrous oxide is a form of mild sedation inhaled through the nose. Odorless and colorless, it has been used for over a century, but delivery methods have greatly improved in efficiency and effectiveness. It\u2019s particularly effective at combating dental anxiety by distracting patients from pain. Here are some benefits of nitrous oxide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>You won\u2019t have pain, but will still be aware of your surroundings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your anxiety and fears levels are drastically reduced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s safe for everyone from small children to the elderly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are few if any side effects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While not likely to be recommended for major dental procedures, nitrous oxide is a great way to calm patients, even if used in conjunction with other forms of sedation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local Anesthesia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A mild form of sedation with the least number of risks, local anesthesia numbs a small area in the mouth via an injection or cream. It\u2019s safe, effective and usually used for minor procedures or in combination with other sedatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every patient is different, so the type of sedation you receive may not be the same as someone else with a similar procedure. But you can rest assured that your dentist is well-prepared to administer the correct for of sedation thanks to extensive training and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If you still have concerns about sedation \u2013 or would simply like to learn more about it \u2013 schedule a consultation with Winterholler Dentistry today.
