Sedation dentistry is also known as sleep dentistry. It helps patients to avoid extreme pain. Here, dentists give medications to the patients in various forms like; inhaled sedation, oral sedation by pill, general anesthesia, IV. These sedations are needed to remove the fear or anxieties face by patients during dental treatment. Sometimes, anxiety is so severe that strong drugs are given to the patients. Most cases, kids face dental anxiety and this is the reason that many Kids' dental care follow sedation practices.

There are the following sedations:

1. Laughing Gas: This gas is basically nitrous oxide and also known as inhalation analgesia. This technique is used to make the patient relax and calm while a dental treatment.

2. Enteral Sedation: This sedation is in the form of liquid or a pill, taken orally (in some cases through rectum or sublingual). It is used in the combination of nitrous oxide.

3. General Anesthesia: It is a medically induced coma. Here, you losses all your protective reflexes.

4. Sedation: This is done by injecting the sedatives into the veins. It acts as deep sedation and you need a recovery time after you leave the dentist's office.
