Creating
a Relaxing Environment

creating a relaxing atmosphere to ensure that the experience is comfortable and
anxiety-free. Dental relaxation or sedation dentistry is a proven way of
keeping the patient calm and relaxed with the help of sedatives used by the
dentists during the duration of the procedures. The sedatives that are used are
tranquilizers, nitrous oxide and anti-anxiety medications and are legal and
safe. The sedatives are usually administered orally or even through intravenous
or the IV method, depending on the comfort
level of the patient.

consultation is done by the dentist to discuss the entire procedure with the
patient. Different patients may react to different forms of sedatives. The
dentist suggest the most acceptable form of sedative and advice on the dos and
don’ts before undergoing the procedure of sedation dentistry.
