Not only do many dental offices provide a more relaxing environment for the patient, including spa-like amenities like weighted blankets and lavender facemasks. Sedation dentistry is also an innovative field of dentistry that is extremely useful for those who fear the dentist, hate needles, have sensitive teeth, or are immune to the numbing effects of anesthesia. Although sedation dentistry may not be right for everyone, Dr. Konstantin Pliev encourages patients who are undergoing periodontal treatment to consider sedation dentistry to ease discomfort and paranoia. Sometimes referred to as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/sedation-dentistry-can-you-really-relax-in-the-dentists-chair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sleep dentistry<\/a>&#8220;, although that&#8217;s not entirely accurate. Patients are usually awake with the exception of those who are under general anesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The levels of sedation used include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Minimal.<\/strong> Awake but relaxed.<\/li><li><strong>Moderate (formerly called &#8220;conscious sedation&#8221;).<\/strong> The patient may slur your words when speaking and not remember much of the procedure.<\/li><li><strong>Deep.<\/strong> Patient is on the edge of consciousness but can still be awakened.<\/li><li><strong>General anesthesia.<\/strong> The patient is completely unconscious.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you are worried about sedation dentistry being safe, rest assured that integrating sedation dentistry into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawadentistryonkent.com\/oral-surgery.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your procedure<\/a> is absolutely comfortable and safe. Patients agree that sedation dentistry was the best option for their procedure because it allows your dental professionals to work thoroughly for maximum results. If you are interested in a way to make your dental experience as pain-free as possible, talk to your dentist during your next dental checkup. They will be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information about sedation dentistry, call Dr. Pliev in Ottawa, ON at 613-235-5348 or visit<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawadentistryonkent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.ottawadentistryonkent.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Konstantin Pliev proudly serve patients from Ottawa and all surrounding areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a patient is nervous about a dental procedure to the point that it becomes impossible to proceed, there are steps that can be taken to not only relax the patient, but to make it as painless as possible.
