Oral Sedation
Oral sedation uses medication to help patients relax and feel comfortable during dental procedures. This method involves taking sedative drugs orally before the treatment, reducing anxiety and making the experience more manageable for those with dental phobias.
Pre-Procedure Consultation
Pre-procedure consultation involves evaluating the patient’s medical history and discussing sedation options. This step ensures the selected sedative is safe and effective, tailored to the patient’s specific needs and health conditions.
Post-Procedure Recovery
Post-procedure recovery involves monitoring the patient as the sedative wears off. Patients are advised to rest and avoid driving or operating machinery until the effects of the sedation have fully subsided.
Monitoring During Procedure
During the procedure, the patient’s vital signs and comfort level are monitored. Continuous monitoring ensures the effectiveness of the sedation and allows for adjustments if necessary, ensuring patient safety and comfort.
Patient Instructions
Patient instructions are provided before and after sedation to ensure safety. This includes guidelines for eating, drinking, and activity restrictions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal outcome from the dental procedure.
Sedative Medication Administration
Sedative medication is administered orally before the procedure to induce relaxation. The medication helps reduce anxiety and ensures the patient is calm and comfortable throughout the dental treatment.
