What are the different types of sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. Common types of sedation include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation (taking a pill), and intravenous (IV) sedation. The type of sedation used depends on the patient's level of anxiety and the complexity of the procedure. Your dentist will discuss the available options and recommend the most suitable form of sedation for you.
