If the idea of extracting a tooth or teeth fills you with horror, then sedation dentistry would be the best option for you. For some people, wisdom teeth removal cost is not their concern but the experience of having the tooth removed. With sedation, you can have the procedure done and even not remember what happened.

Sedation is an option for people who are too nervous to undergo dental extraction, so medication is given to help them relax or to put them to sleep throughout the procedure. In fact, the type of sedation uses can have an effect on the wisdom teeth price.

When is Sedation Recommended

In cases where a patient is too scared to undergo dental procedures to the extent, they would rather suffer the pain of an oral complication than see the dentist, then sedation would be the best option. Some of the situations that may call for sedation include:

  • A bad dental experience has left the patient horrified of dental procedures
  • The person has serious gag reflexes that would make it impossible to carry out the procedure
  • The person has highly sensitive teeth
​
Types of Sedation

For most patients, there will be no memory of the procedure once it is complete and moreover the wisdom teeth cost is affordable by opting for this kind of sedation. 

Intravenous Sedation: This is reserved for extreme cases. It is carried out by a qualified anesthesiologist. The medication is administered intravenously and it will put the patient to sleep. They will not be aware of anything going on and will wake up with no memory of the procedure.

The procedures are effective and safe with the only side effect being a bit of dizziness and patients are advised not to drive after the procedure.

Preparation

Before the procedure, the dentist will give the patient advice to ensure all goes well. Some of the things a patient may be informed include:
  • Staying away from food or drink at least 8 hours before the procedure
  • No alcohol 24 hours before the procedure as this can cause complications with the anesthesia
  • No smoking either — 24 hours before the procedure
  • You are also advised to have someone to drive you back home after the surgery since you may be a bit groggy after the procedure
