Synopsis

Sedation is a procedure that makes use of sedative medications toproduce a relaxed experience for the patient. The central nervoussystem (CNS) is affected through the use of drugs, includingtranquilizers and anxiolytics, that can be administered to thepatient in several ways. Sedation dentistry has several benefits,both for dentists and patients. For patients, it can mean freedom from anxiety or fear duringdental procedures. In cases where a patient has not been able toundergo dental treatment for many years because of this fear,sedation dentistry allows him to have several years' worth ofdental treatment in just a few sessions. For dentists, sedation dentistry facilitates the easyperformance of dental procedures. Patients are likely to be morecooperative under the relaxing effects of sedation. Treatments canalso be quicker, because a number of procedures can be performed ina single session. Dental nurses play a vital role in assisting thedentist in the routine sedation of patients.
