Sedation is the name of the procedure that is called deep sleep by general anesthesia specialists and technicians in our center’s operating theater to remove the pain, anxiety, fear and nausea that may occur during dental treatment.
The patient who is asleep, with the effect of sedative drugs, does not remember the contents of the procedure performed, the pain, the voices she/he dislikes, after treatment. This also makes it easier for the patient to develop dental treatment in later sessions. It removes the dental phobia and lifts the sensation of pain.
Sedation, which should not be confused with general anesthesia, does not carry the risks of general anesthesia since it is done only with sedative gas. After the procedure, the patient is able to recover quickly.
