CONSCIOUS SEDATION

Conscious sedation is a technique recommended for emotional patients, both adults and children.

The patient, under the careful supervision of an anaesthesiologist, is sedated for the time needed to perform surgery. The patient breathes a totally harmless aerosol gas through a nasal mask and so becomes sedated (equivalent to a couple of strong cups of chamomile), but remains conscious throughout. This means the patient can open or close his/her mouth and do whatever the dentist requires without fear. The session is thus stress-free and causes no negative emotions for the patient.
