Sedation Dentistry in Thornhill

In sedation dentistry, dentists administer sedative medicine to put the patient in a relaxed and stress-free state, thus efficiently and smoothly carrying out a dental process. It also helps the dentist carry out dental treatment with fewer visits. The dentist carries out sedation dentistry, depending on what is most suitable for the patient. The dentist may choose oral, inhalation, or intravenous sedation.

Some patients can get treated by dentists only due to sedation dentistry. Treatment can be quick, and in lengthy, complicated procedures, sedation is a must. Many patients may not want to visit the dentist due to an earlier trauma felt during childhood or an initial visit. They do not take care of their dental health because of fear of pain. Even after giving sedation to the patient, the dentist needs to use local anesthesia to numb the procedure area. Only under general anaesthesia is it required. There are four kinds of sedation used during dental procedures: inhaled, oral, moderate intravenous, deep, and general anaesthesia.

Sedation dentistry costs vary based on location and the type of sedation that you opt for. Generally, IV or intravenous sedation are more expensive than their counterparts. On average, nitrous oxide sedation might cost anywhere between 50 CAD and 100 CAD per session, whereas the oral option is more moderate at 150 CAD and 500 CAD.

You can consult your dentist to discuss your treatment, including costs and financing options. Some insurance policies cover the cost of sedation treatment.
