Dental Sedation Aftercare - Utah Endodontist
At Greater Endodontics we believe that dental procedures should be painless and worry free. For patients who experience dental anxiety, we offer a wide range of sedation services to ensure a comfortable appointment. Depending on the type of procedure being performed and the amount of anxiety experienced by the patient, different types of sedation will be used. If you are to receive sedation during your appointment, your Utah dental sedation specialist will give you any necessary preparation instructions. There may be a few side effects after the procedure is completed, and the following aftercare instructions are important for the type of sedation you recieve:
Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) - The most mild form of sedation, nitrous oxide is typically used during fillings or other mild procedures. After the procedure is complete, you will be given pure oxygen for a few minutes to clear the nitrous oxide from your system and then you are free to go.
Anxiolytics - These medications are taken orally and used to decrease feelings of anxiety. The effects may persist for a few hours after the procedure, so patients should have someone to drive them from the office and plan on resting when they arrive home.
Oral Conscious Sedation and IV Sedation - These are the two deepest forms of sedation and must be administered by a dental sedation specialist. While patients will remain conscious, they will have very little memory of the procedure and will feel tired and groggy for up to 6 hours following the procedure. Patients receiving IV sedation must have an escort and must refrain from any physical activity for the rest of the day.
Our Utah endodontist office is proud to offer our patients worry-free dental work. Oral health is important and shouldn’t be avoided out of fear. For a healthy mouth and anxiety-free dental work, call Greater Endodontics today.
