Sleep Dentistry

00:00:04.917 --> 00:00:10.417 If you're anxious or scared, sedation can help you get through that. 00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:13.542 We use pills where you just take and swallow a pill, 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.957 and then we do IV sedation. 00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:21.280 IV sedation is going to be easier to control, 00:00:21.667 --> 00:00:23.375 to get you to the right level 00:00:23.458 --> 00:00:26.277 and maintain you at the right level of sedation. 00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:28.583 There's benefits with the IV sedation. 00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:33.197 The pill sedation, it takes a little while for that to go through your system 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.520 and then be broken down and then in your bloodstream. 00:00:36.917 --> 00:00:39.500 It's not as controllable. 00:00:39.583 --> 00:00:42.042 Some people react different to it. 00:00:42.125 --> 00:00:43.833 They might need a different dosage, 00:00:43.917 --> 00:00:47.333 but it would take another hour to get that in. 00:00:47.417 --> 00:00:49.833 The IV does, it's more controllable. 00:00:50.042 --> 00:00:56.042 While you're under sedation, we will still numb the areas. 00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:00.262 We'll still do the injections, but those injections will be done 00:01:00.345 --> 00:01:05.250 while you're sedated with little to no awareness of those injections. 00:01:05.333 --> 00:01:10.667 Then the procedure will be just as any other procedure is. 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.277 You won't be aware, and you won't feel at the same time. 00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:19.720 After sedation, you can expect your recovery to be drowsy. 00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:23.757 There's a small chance to be nauseated, but most of the time, 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.360 it's just drowsiness, and that wears off a few hours later.
