Sedation Dentistry
Sleep Dentistry: You’re In Safe Hands!
If you are worried about pain and discomfort that your child will experience during his/her oral surgery or other dental procedure, you will be happy to find out that we offer sleep dentistry to ignore issues such as cavities, broken or loose teeth, and other problems can put your child oral health at serious risk.
What is sleep dentistry?
What is pediatric sedation?
There are three levels of sedation namely
Minimal sedation – you will be awake throughout the process but you relaxed.
Moderate sedation – this is known as conscious sedation. It is characterized by loss of memory and slur conversation.
General anesthesia – you will be completely unconscious throughout the procedure. You will not remember anything that happens while undergoing the dental procedure.
Some patients are skeptical that anything less than a total anesthetic could make them undergo a dental procedure without panicking, but sleep dentistry has a number of benefits, including
- Anesthesia means no risk of adverse reactions
- Patients can go home immediately after oral conscious sedation
- Experience a dentist visit consciously without fear or anxiety
Many patients who undergo sleep dentistry are able to overcome their fear of the dentist gradually with each visit.
What types of sedation are used in dentistry?
The following types of sedation are used in dentistry:
Inhaled Minimal Sedation
IV Moderate Sedation
You receive the sedative drug through a vein, so it goes to work more quickly. This method allows the dentist to continually adjust the level of sedation.
Deep Sedation and General Anesthesia
Will get medications that will make you either almost unconscious or totally unconscious — deeply asleep — during the procedure. While you are under general anesthesia, you cannot easily be awakened until the effects of the anesthesia wear off or are reversed with medication.
Why Specialized Pediatric Dental Care Matters
A childs mouth is really different, from an adults mouth. It is always changing because the jaw is growing and the way the child breathes is changing too. At the time the childs milk teeth are falling out and permanent teeth are coming in. Childrens mouths are changing a lot. This is why it is very important to choose a clinic that only works with children like a childrens clinic.
The Best Pediatric Dental Clinic does not just look for decay it looks for the root cause of the problem. Is your child breathing through their mouth at night? Do they have a tongue tie that is affecting their speech or the way they eat? Are the things they do every day impacting the way their face is growing? At We Little our team of expert dental professionals is trained to find these small problems early on so your child can develop in a natural and healthy way. We Little has a team of expert dental professionals who are trained to identify these things early on so your child can develop naturally and healthily at We Little.
Children can benefit from Sedation for a number of reasons:
2. Build lifelong good habits Children who have dental problems early in life often come away with a fear of the dentist and a dislike of anything oral health-related. This can lead to poor hygiene and an avoidance of the dentist later in life. Sedation can prevent these upsetting memories from forming.
3. Help children with severe dental needs get treatment comfortably. Few people find it easy to sit still at the dentists for extended periods, and children are no different. For kids who need a lot of work done, sedation can help them be more comfortable and hold still longer.
4. Fewer appointments make life easier for parents. It’s a challenge as a parent to schedule multiple appointments around work, school, childcare, and activities. Many parents intend to finish a treatment plan but are unable to make every appointment. Sedation condenses extensive treatment into one no-memory appointment that’s easy to plan for.
5. Shorter recovery time and easier management of discomfort. Dentists can do their best and most careful work on a sedated patient, which makes for a faster recovery time. Additionally, the lack of stress hormones and fear reduces inflammation and speeds recovery as well, and the patient sleeps through the worst of the post-op discomfort!
6. Reduced gag reflex. In many cases, patients who receive laughing gas or other types of sedation before their appointment experience a reduction in their gag reflex. This makes it easier for the dentist to get their work done in a timely manner, and it makes things more comfortable for the patient.
7. Receive multiple treatments. For patients who need to undergo multiple treatments (such as those who haven’t seen the dentist in a long time), sedation dentistry is very helpful. It allows the patient to remain comfortable while having extensive work done on their teeth and gums.
