Wisdom teeth are real troublemakers, as they can become painfully jammed between the jaw bone and your other teeth. Wisdom teeth removal might be intimidating, especially if you have never been sedated, but it’s a standard type of surgical intervention that has a very high rate of success.
Removing wisdom teeth isn’t recommended in all cases, but if you have decay or if your teeth grow in the wrong direction, then extraction is usually the best option. Fortunately, with your dentist’s guidance regarding the many anesthetic types and options available, understanding the differences between each option will help you feel empowered enough to make the best decision, so you can be comfortable on the day of surgery.
Sedation dentistry includes all dental procedures that are done even after the patient has been administered medication that numbs and relaxes them. There are a lot of different compounds that can be used and the concentration will be set by the team responsible for the sedation process until the procedure is completed. Dental sedation is commonly classified into three categories: mild, moderate and heavy. Each category essentially depicts how “asleep” you are during the procedure.
Sedation during wisdom teeth extraction is recommended as it not only protects your health and calms your body, but also relaxes your mind and allows your surgeon to work without distractions. Understanding the best sedation method is the key to a safe and successful procedure. Talk to your oral surgeon at https://www.oralsurgery-hicd.com/ to find out more and dispel any of your concerns.
