Dr. George Hatzigiannis has earned hundreds of continuing education credits and is knowledgeable about a wide range of dental topics, including dental sedation.

Dental sedation can help patients who experience anxiety about dental surgery. Several different types of sedation may be available for dental surgery depending on the patient’s preference and the severity of their fear. Four common types of sedation are detailed below.

1. Oral sedation - Oral sedation is the most common and can be administered in minimal or moderate dosages. Patients who receive a minimal dose remain awake, but drowsy during their procedure. Those who receive a moderate dose may fall into a shallow sleep.

2. Inhaled minimal sedation - This type of sedation combines oxygen with nitrous oxide to create what many refer to as laughing gas. In most cases, it wears off fairly quickly and patients can usually drive themselves home after an operation.

3. IV moderate sedation - A fast acting form of sedation, IV moderate sedation is administered through a vein. Over the course of a procedure, the dentist can adjust the level of sedation being given to the patient through their IV.

4. Deep sedation or general anesthesia - When deep sedation is used, patients become completely unconscious. It is most often used during longer, more complex, procedures, or if the patient desires the greatest likelihood that they will not remember the procedure.]]> 2017-08-30 03:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/DrGeorgeHatzigiannis/About/wish/183586281 DrGeorgeHatzigiannis https://padlet.com/DrGeorgeHatzigiannis/About/wish/194959518 2017-10-08 04:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/DrGeorgeHatzigiannis/About/wish/194959518 DrGeorgeHatzigiannis https://padlet.com/DrGeorgeHatzigiannis/About/wish/194959527 2017-10-08 04:33:10 UTC https://padlet.com/DrGeorgeHatzigiannis/About/wish/194959527
