Conscious sedation in dentistry is a technique that uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures while maintaining their ability to respond to commands. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with dental anxiety, fear, or those undergoing lengthy or complex treatments. Common methods include nitrous oxide, oral sedatives, and intravenous sedation. The goal is to ensure patient comfort, reduce pain perception, and alleviate anxiety, all while maintaining airway control and patient responsiveness. Conscious sedation enhances the overall dental experience, making procedures more manageable for both patients and practitioners, with minimal side effects or recovery time.
