In the office, there is the routine use of the Local anesthetics such as lidocaine, polocaine, mepivicaine, septicaine and marcaine together with the nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and valium as these are needed to ensure that our patients can experience a safe, and even a relaxing, dental visit. It is best to have teeth in a day.
In cases where the individuals are wishing to complete all their dental work at one time or to successfully treat an anxious or phobic condition, they certainly get the best choice of using the conscious sedation. Doing this kind of services to their patients will give an added asset to their practice.
A state of depression of the central nervous system enabling the treatment to be carried out while having verbal contact with the patient is maintained throughout the period of sedation is the psychokinetic of the conscious sedation which is a technique in which it uses of a drug, or drugs.
The patients usually have no memory of the entire dental procedure. This is the common reason why they thought was asleep during the procedure but was in fact, left so comfortably and awake in the place.
Most dentists will practice and use the two team, multi-disciplinary approach for conscious sedation. As all the dentists , they tend to focus solely on the dental sedation procedures because the anesthesiologist is the person who is present during the entire procedure, monitors and attends to our patient's sedation needs.
For conscious sedation, the drug of choice by the dentist is called the--Midazolam (Versed). In general, midazolam has a fast-acting, short-lived sedative effect when given intravenously, achieving sedation within one to five minutes and peaking within 30 minutes. The effects of midazolam typically lasts for one hour persisting up to six hours including already the amnesic effect. Driving home after the procedure is not advisable for people who had received midazolam for conscious sedation.
The proper equipment must also be in place and organized at the bedside of every patients especially for monitoring the patient's blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, level of consciousness, and, most importantly, the oxygen saturation to measure the oxygen perfusion inside the body and with a pulse oximeter which is a machine that provides a continuous real-time recording of oxygenation.
Before the start of the administration of medications, the anesthesiologist monitors the vital signs and then continuously monitors thereafter until the procedure is completed.
Choosing the proper dental anesthesia can certainly make a significant difference in anticipating better outcomes for your dental care. The use of the Conscious sedation, may be your right choice.
