What Is Sedation Dentistry? Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedatives/drugs to help patients relax during dental procedures. It can be as mild as simply helping the patient remain calm or as effective as rendering the patient unconscious (also known as âsleep dentistryâ). The two main categories of sedation are oral and IV. Oral sedation is a drug taken by the mouth, like valium. IV sedation is administered through the veins with a small needle. Differences Between Oral and IV Sedation If you have any fear of the dentist, sedation is probably a great option for you. Not only does it help you relax, it allows your dentist to work more efficiently and precisely. In addition to giving the patient peace of mind, sedation dentistry makes it easier for Dr. Walrond to give you higher quality care.
