Conscious sedation is a moderate sedation technique that induces a state of deep relaxation, reducing anxiety and pain during dental treatment.
This is not general anesthesia: you will remain alert and conscious, but in a condition of pleasant detachment, allowing you to communicate with the dentist and collaborate during the operation.
This type of treatment is ideal for almost everyone because the patient is brought to a state of greater tranquility, reducing stress and strong emotions.
Conscious sedation is indicated for:
Conscious sedation can be administered in different ways:
The administration method and dosage of the drugs will be established by the dentist based on your needs and the complexity of the procedure.
The first step is the consultation with the anesthetist who, in mutual agreement with the specialist surgeon, decides which type of sedation is most suitable.
Sedation is performed intravenously through a cannula in which the drugs are administered.
During sedation, vital parameters are monitored and, in some cases, the drugs are associated with the inhalation of nitrous oxide, which combined with oxygen has no contraindications.
This procedure puts the patient into a state of drowsiness, inhibiting the perception of time and pain.
The only recommendation made to the patient is not to immediately start driving.
Thanks to the pharmacological protocol, no particular discomfort is felt even in the days following the operation.
