Frequently Used Anesthesia in Oral Surgery

September 12, 2020

It’s an undeniable fact that Weston oral surgery, specifically when anesthesia is used, can be a little intimidating. Nonetheless, you should know that it is absolutely safe. In addition to being safe, it also relieves the pain and anxiety of dental surgery. To guarantee this, make sure that the one who administers the anesthesia is a trained and certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

3 Common Types of Anesthesia

General Anesthesia

General anesthesia is often used when you are required to be put in a sleep-like state. The combination produces a more intense anesthesia experience for complex dental cases. Thus, general anesthesia is ideally used in a more intensive treatment such as complex Weston oral surgery, dental implant placement, or impacted wisdom tooth removal.

With this, it is important that you bring a friend or family member with you as it’ll take a while for you to be fully aware.

IV Sedation

According to experts on Weston oral surgery, this type is also a form of deeper anesthesia with a milder effect than general anesthesia. After placing an IV, medicine is used to attain a period of short yet effective sedative. Patients who are under this type of anesthesia report that they can still remember some conversations, mostly at the beginning and end of the procedure. However, there shouldn’t be any recollection of any discomfort.

Local Anesthesia

If you ever went to see the dentist because you had a cavity, you’re more likely to have experienced being under local anesthesia. This type of anesthesia is a numbing medication. It is injected by your dentist directly into the affected area.

Local anesthesia is only used in minor dental procedures. While you’re under local anesthesia, you will remain completely conscious but numb in the treatment area. There are also instances when a dentist uses nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. This will help you feel more relaxed.
