Many Jefferson City dentistry patients have discovered the benefits of anxiety-free dentistry (sometimes called sleep dentistry). There are three main types of sedation options available in the Jefferson City area for patients to look at:
Inhalation
Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedatives take longer to work than nitrous but produce a calmer state in nervous patients. Triazolam and diazepam are common oral sedatives used in dentistry. These medications are routinely prescribed by physicians for anxiety, insomnia, and muscle spasms.
Oral sedation is a good choice for anxious patients who require a lengthy dental procedure. After the dental visit, however, it takes a while for the medication to wear off. You should not drive yourself home afterward.
IV Sedation
Like nitrous, intra-venous sedation starts working immediately as the sedative enters the bloodstream. IV sedation usually produces the deepest state of relaxation. IV patients can dream away the entire procedure and wake up quiet.
