Fear from dentist – Sedation

Afraid of the dentist? Discover sedation that changes everything

For many patients, a visit to the dentist brings discomfort, fear, and even panic. Fortunately, modern dental medicine now offers solutions that make procedures painless, relaxed, and pleasant. One of the most important is analgosedation.

What is analgosedation?

Analgosedation is a combination of a mild sedative and pain relievers (analgesics), which calms the patient and induces light sleep, but they remain conscious and able to communicate during the procedure. This state is also called conscious sedation.

At Dental Center 4Smile, we use analgosedation as a safe and effective solution for patients who:

• Experience intense fear or anxiety about dental procedures
• Have a strong gag reflex
• Are undergoing longer or more complex procedures
• Struggle with the sounds, smells, or environment of a dental clinic

What is a procedure under analgosedation like?

Everything begins with a thorough examination and consultation. Our experienced anesthesiologist evaluates each patient individually to determine the optimal type and dosage of medication.

During the procedure:

• The patient feels calm, relaxed, and sleepy
• There is no pain, but they can open their mouth, respond, and cooperate with the dentist
• Most patients don’t remember the procedure or recall it only in fragments
• Recovery is quick and easy, and the patient can go home shortly afterward

Sedation is administered intravenously, allowing full access to the oral cavity. This makes analgosedation significantly more practical for dental procedures compared to general anesthesia, which requires intubation and can complicate access to the mouth.

The difference between analgosedation and general anesthesia

Types of sedation

• Conscious sedation (analgosedation) – Most common and safest form; uses a mix of sedatives and painkillers
• Nitrous oxide sedation (“laughing gas”) – Inhalation method that calms quickly; especially useful for children
• Deep sedation – Patient is on the edge of consciousness; used less frequently
• General anesthesia – Reserved for complex surgical procedures in hospitals
