Many people suffer from a phobia associated with visiting a dentist’s clinic or sitting in his chair. This is referred to as dental phobia, where there is an intense fear of dental procedure and even visit to a clinic.
People of both the genders and of different age groups suffer from this condition. Most children suffer from dental phobia too. They find it difficult to sit in the dentist’s chair and cannot even gather the courage to visit a dental clinic. They need support from the family and even help from the dentist to overcome this fear and anxiety.
Sleep dentistry uses different chemicals and techniques to ensure that a person is either partially or fully unconscious during their dental procedure. This form of dentistry bring to use general anesthetics, chemicals, nitrous oxide or laughing gas and other techniques to induce sleep, unconsciousness or partial consciousness in the patients. They feel relaxed, out of anxiety and can sleep through the entire dental procedure. Most patients who are given GA do not even remember anything from their dental procedure. It takes them a few hours to get back to normal and renew their work.
Sleep dentistry is given to young children as well as adults.
