DEEP SLEEP’ ADVICE TO THOSE WHO FEAR DENTAL TREATMENTS
Along with the coronavirus pandemic, fear of dental treatments has also increased. Dentist Doctor in Antalya Lara said that individuals with a particular fear of dentists, nausea reflex and special needs can be treated by sedation method. Here are the details.
Sedation is the name of the procedure, also called deep sleep, to eliminate pain, anxiety, fear and nausea that may occur during dental treatment. Especially in children, the fear of the dentist’s chair can end with sleep treatments.
Sedation can be applied in people who should have dental treatment, but are afraid of the dentist, have difficulty performing dental treatment due to physical or mental disabilities, and have an excessive gag reflex. It is used in short procedures in pediatric patients. General anesthesia is a condition in which the patient is put to sleep under the influence of prescribed medications in the operating room environment. Especially in children with sleep treatments, the fear of the dentist’s chair can end.
Before general anesthesia, child patients are often taken to the operating room after drinking a relaxing drug. In this way, children are prevented from being afraid, restless, and then anesthesia is initiated by injecting an anesthetic through the vascular pathway. Anesthesiologist allows children to have a comfortable and painless experience during the procedure. It ensures patient safety by regularly checking all necessary vital functions such as patients ‘ heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and depth, and the body’s oxygen level. In the period after the procedure, the drug treatments necessary to prevent the patient from feeling pain are planned.
Sedation or general anesthesia can be applied to perform dental treatment in patients with very high levels of fear and anxiety, or in children with mental disabilities, or in patients with mobility disabilities, where adequate co-operation cannot be achieved.
After all dental treatments of the child patient are planned, it is decided to apply sedation or general anesthesia. Pre-anesthesia examinations are performed. First, information such as a detailed summary of the patient, surgery and diseases that he has undergone before, medications that he constantly uses, is obtained and a physical examination takes place. After the necessary examinations are performed, the preparations for the operation are started.
After the planned procedures for the child patient are completed, the patient is awakened by a Antalya dentist and anesthesiologist and kept under supervision for some time and then discharged.
