Dental Sleep Medication: Relax and Spend Your Time In the Dental Chair With No Anxiety

It is generally normal for a patient to feel anxious and nervous during a visit to the dentist. But if your psycho-emotional state causes you obvious suffering, and due to fear, you simply cannot withstand the necessary manipulations of the dentist, you should take the opportunity to eliminate this fear and nervousness. Dental treatment in medicated sleep is just such an opportunity that the dentists at First Family Dental Studio offer you.

Dental Treatment in Medicated Sleep: Types and Differences of Anesthesia

Dental treatment with anesthesia has become a very popular service. Moreover, this term refers to two types of procedures, during which, instead of local

anesthetics, drugs that put the patient into a state of sleep or semi-asleep are used to numb patients.

Dental treatment under general anesthesia is carried out using inhaled drugs that affect the nervous system and help relax skeletal muscles and turn off some reflexes. The entire time the dentist is treating your teeth, you are in a state of deep sleep.

Dental treatment under sedation is carried out using drugs that are administered intravenously. This type of anesthesia does not cause a complete shutdown, it puts you into a state of semi-sleep, in which you remain in a relaxed state, do not feel pain, but remain conscious.

First Family Dental Studio offers both of these therapy options in medication sleep to its patients to provide them with peace of mind and comfort.

Who Is Indicated for Dental Treatment Under General Anesthesia or Sedation?

Most often, we offer dental treatment under general anesthesia for the following indications and patient conditions:

• If the patient is intolerant to local anesthetics used in dentistry for pain relief or has allergic reactions to local anesthesia.
• If the patient has a significant fear of upcoming dental treatment and/or panic attacks.
• With an increased gag reflex, which interferes with medical procedures.
• Patients with disabilities (autism, cerebral palsy, etc.).
• In complex treatment with the participation of all necessary specialists (from therapists to implant surgeons).
• When removing complex teeth, including wisdom teeth.

Dentists’ Tips: How to Prepare for Dental Treatment Under Medicinal Sleep

To prepare for dental treatment under medicinal sleep, you should adhere to several rules:

• Be sure to undergo a preliminary examination including an ECG and a general blood test. We will give you prescriptions for examinations during your consultation.
• It is worth refraining from drinking alcohol and smoking for several days before dental sleep medication.
• On the day of your appointment for dental treatment under general anesthesia, you should abstain from food 6 hours before the procedure and from water 4 hours before the procedure. If your appointment is scheduled for the afternoon, it is better to have breakfast early.

But after recovering from anesthesia, we categorically do not recommend driving. You can drink water immediately after the procedure unless there are restrictions from your doctor.

Dental Treatment Under Anesthesia for Adults and Kids at the First Family Dental Studio Clinic

In our clinic, we treat teeth under anesthesia and sedation using modern medications.

• Dexdor is a unique sedation option with which we can carry out long-term dental treatment, increasing the operating time to 9-12 hours. It maintains the patient in a state close to physiological human sleep.
• Propofol (PROPOFOLUM) is a drug for medical sedation with a high-safety profile. When undergoing routine treatment at the dentist, there is only one absolute contraindication, allergic reactions to chicken yolk.
• Treatment during sleep under general anesthesia with Sevoran. It is an inhalational anesthetic that provides rapid induction of anesthesia. Safe for both adults and children for dental treatment while they sleep.

Dental treatment during medicinal sleep is a procedure that requires increased responsibility from a specialist. We use preparations with a high safety profile, the most modern systems for monitoring the patient’s body condition are used during treatment, and we strongly recommend that you first discuss the advisability of dental treatment during sleep with our dentist and anesthesiologist.
