What Is Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry, also called sleep dentistry or conscious sedation, uses safe medications to relax patients during dental procedures. It’s especially useful for:
-
Children with fear or anxiety about dental visits
-
Patients with a low pain threshold or strong gag reflex
-
Individuals needing multiple procedures in one session
-
Adults or teens with past traumatic dental experiences
We provide both mild and deep sedation options, tailored to each patient’s comfort level and medical history.
Types of Sedation Dentistry Offered in Dubai
At our clinic in Al Barsha South, Dubai, we offer a variety of sedation options:
1. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)
Ideal for mild anxiety and routine dental treatments. Delivered through a nose mask, this gentle gas creates a relaxed feeling within minutes and wears off quickly—making it perfect for children.
2. Oral Sedation
Administered in pill or liquid form, this moderate sedation method keeps the patient awake but calm. Ideal for children who require extra cooperation or adults undergoing longer treatments.
3. IV Sedation
A deeper form of sedation delivered intravenously. Recommended for complex or lengthy dental procedures. Patients typically feel drowsy or sleep through the procedure and recall little afterward.
All sedation methods are closely monitored by our trained team to ensure safety and optimal comfort.
