Wisdom Teeth

Wisdom Tooth Extraction:

Many times when dentists talk about extractions, they’re referring to impacted wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth can cause discomfort, inflammation, infection, and even decay. In cases like this—or in more extreme cases, where cysts develop around the wisdom teeth and jeopardize the health of the jaw bone—extraction may be the only viable option.

IV sedation :

IV sedation is a valuable option for patients who experience high levels of anxiety or fear when undergoing dental procedures. It allows dentists to perform complex or lengthy treatments while ensuring the patient remains comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. IV sedation is often used for procedures such as wisdom teeth extraction, dental implant placement, root canal therapy, and other surgeries.

IV sedation in dentistry offers several benefits, including:

– Reduced anxiety and fear: Patients can undergo dental treatment without experiencing the stress and discomfort associated with dental phobias.
– Increased comfort: IV sedation provides pain relief and relaxation, allowing patients to remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
– Time efficiency: Dentists can complete complex treatments more efficiently, as patients are more cooperative and less likely to experience discomfort or movement during IV sedation.
– Enhanced safety: IV sedation is closely monitored by trained professionals, reducing the risk of complications during dental procedures.

IV sedation is not suitable for everyone, and there are potential risks and side effects associated with its use. Patients should discuss their medical history and any concerns with their dentist or anesthesia provider before undergoing IV sedation.
