Depending on the procedure a dentist considers three kinds of administering a sedative. It can be by mouth (oral), by injection or IV (intravenous), or by inhalation.
Sedatives by inhalation like the laughing gas or nitrous oxide is preferred by those who have difficulties in swallowing pills or tablets.
On the other hand, patients who are uncomfortable with needles may shun the intravenous or injection way. But then again, what’s one prick to several minutes to an hour of relaxed and pain-free procedure (a good example is a smile makeover).
Allergies AND drinking habits are also taken into consideration when matching the best sedative for you. So don’t forget to be honest with your dentist since these information is of importance to your dental health when you will undergo a dental procedure that will require sedatives.
