Dental techniques have improved so much over the last few years, that modern dental treatment can now be completely painless. Despite this, most people still feel a little nervous at the thought of going to the dentist. If you have not been to see a dentist for some time, you will probably find that things have improved a lot since your last visit. The general attitude is likely to be more relaxed, the dental techniques and safety procedures will be much better, and the equipment will be more up to date. Here at our Clinic we have a variety of options available for the delivery of anestitic. Including Sedation Dentistry for those who have been avoiding getting their teeth fixed because of fear, paranoia or discomfort. Needleless Injection Use of a pressurized gas bust to deliver the anesthesia. Constant pressure delivery systems A device with an on-board microprocessor, which guides the anesthetic flow rate. The microprocessor automatically compensates for different tissue densities and the anesthetic itself is delivered at a constant pressure and volume so that the injection itself is hardly felt. The unit additionally provides a flow of anesthetic directly ahead of the needle creating a "pathway of anesthesia" to further decrease the uncomfortable feeling usually associated with a dental injection. The source of discomfort for most injections, isn’t the needle – it’s the flow of anesthetic into the tissue in your mouth. This device allows for an optimal flow rate every single time so that the injection process can be more comfortable. Nitrous oxide/ Laughing Gas Nitrous oxide is used in roughly one third of dental practices in the United States, especially to allay anxiety that many patients may have toward dental treatment, and it offers some degree of painkilling ability. The benefits of nitrous oxide are many, and the risks are few. The gas is administered with a comfortable mask placed over the nose, and the patient is instructed to breathe in through the nose and out through their mouth. The patient begins to feel a pleasant level of sedation in anywhere from 30 seconds to three or four minutes. The cheeks and gums will also begin to feel numb in about a third of the patients. After the gas is adjusted to the appropriate dose, and the patient is relaxed and sedated, the dentist can comfortably give the anesthetic injection (if needed) to the patient, and then proceed with dental treatment. After the treatment is completed, the patient is given pure oxygen to breathe for about five minutes, and all the effects of sedation are usually reversed. General Anesthesia General anesthesia is an induced state of unconsciousness. Sedation Mask
