Sedation means deep sleep during consciousness, via medications administered by general anaesthesia specialists. This process can be done at the examination room, and there is no dental operation bothering the patient.
Many people have a fear against tooth treatment, maybe because of negative past experience, or rumours of others' negative dentist experiences. That's why people postpone tooth treatment. In fact, some people ask to be treated after anaesthesia, mentioning that they are actually open for treatment but cannot overcome such fear. We can administer sedation on these kind of people. In some children with treatment disconformities, or people with mental retention, we can successfully treat tooth through sedation, with no side effect. After the operation, patient can easily return to social life.
