Patients suffering from moderate to extreme dental phobia or have physical problems that prevent them from dental surgery and sit in the order, are excellent candidates for sedation dentistry, says Dr. Itani.
We work with patients to determine which of the four different levels of sedation is the right match for them. It is very important for patients to understand their capabilities so they are ready, and there are no surprises in the appointment.
Dr. Itani
offer their patients sedation following options:
Option 1: nitric oxide
effects of nitrous oxide gas, or fun, as you know, be nice and disappears soon after the exam is over. According to Dr. Itani, this option is best suited for patients with some fear and concern for those with mild gag reflex.
Nitric oxide
the lowest level of sedation, I suggest, says Dr. Itani. It is a colorless gas, has a slightly sweet flavor that patients inhale through a special mask. A few minutes later a harmless gas inhalation, patients feel happy and relaxed and can begin treatment.
Option number two: oral sedation
In some cases, Dr. Itani has to offer oral anxiolytic (calming) drugs such as Valium, which can be used with or without nitrous oxide. This is the next level of sedation, known as oral conscious sedation.
Oral sedation
what is best for patients with moderate to severe anxiety, and may show signs of panic, says Dr. Itani. It offers a deeper sedation that patients feel comfortable in your body and mind during the procedure, sometimes leaving them with little care can not remember when, as in
Option number 3: IV sedation
intravenous (IV), sedation, also known as conscious sedation, puts patients in a state similar to sleep, the consciousness that makes it comfortable to sit quietly for other purposes. Even in this semi-conscious state, patients may respond to questions and directions, until they drugs.
to offer IV sedation in cases where patients have physical, developmental, mental or emotional limitations, such as Down syndrome, autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, or those with severe gag reflex, or phobias, explains Dr. Itani.
Option number four: general anesthesia
high level of sedation that Dr. Itani has a general anesthetic. Under anesthesia, the patient is in a state of unconscious, so this option is also often referred to as sleep dentistry. Upon awakening, the patient does not remember the treatment is safe to return home after about 3:58.
General anesthesia may be necessary for patients with a dental phobia, physical limitations or developmental disabilities, and for those who need treatment, which lasts a few hours, says Dr. Itani. It must be anesthetists and dentist should be associated with the hospital. I have a few branches with hospitals in the Bay Area and I have many cases of general anesthesia for many years.
Dr. Itani worked with great care and special needs patients for more than ten years and has extensive experience with sedation dentistry.
