By Dr. Keerthi Sudireddy
For patients with dental anxiety or those needing longer procedures, sedation dentistry makes treatment calm and comfortable.
Sedation dentistry uses medication to help you relax during treatment. Options range from mild (such as inhaled sedation, where you stay awake and relaxed) to deeper sedation for complex cases. It is ideal for anxious patients, those with a strong gag reflex, or long procedures. It is safe when provided by trained professionals with monitoring, and most people recover quickly.
