dentistry question?

Question

what is the difference(if any) between sleep dentistry and sedation dentisty? And are they really expensive to have?Thank you.

Answer 1

Sleep dentistry places you in a relaxed state of complete sedation. This means you'll have little or no memory of having any dental work done. Furthermore, you will have minimal if any pain or discomfort. Which makes sleep dentistry an easy, safe and effective way to provide patients who have dentalphobia with the dentistry they need to keep their teeth healthy and beautiful.

Sleep Dentistry is not only for people that fear going to the dentist. Anybody can experience the benefits of sleep dentistry. Sedation allows patients to have more dental work done in a single appointment. Often treatment that would require five appointments or more can be performed in one single appointment. This means less interruptions to your daily life.

Nobody enjoys going to the dentist and what could make your next dental visit more pleasant than being able to sleep through it.

There is lots of information here:http://sleepdentistryofportland.com/sedation.shtml

Sleep dentistry costs $350 for oral sedation to as much as $1,600 for hospitalization, anesthesiologist and support staff.

Answer 2

There can be a conflict between your dental fears, on the one hand, and your need for control on the other. If you choose sedation, this can pretty much eliminate your anxiety about discomfort from the dental procedures, if that’s what you’re afraid of. Or, if you’re afraid of a panic attack while sitting in the dentist’s chair, sedation might eliminate that fear, too. But if you worried about not being in control of proceedings, “sleep dentistry” may be a hindrance rather than a help. It may be worth discussing inhalation sedation (laughing gas) with your dentist if you don’t like the idea of loss of memory for the procedure, and if some sense of control is important to you.

Most people have some degree of ambivalence about being in control of, or aware during, a delicate or potentially painful situation, medical or dental. You and your dentist should discuss whether a treatment would be uncomfortable or distressing to you. It may be useful to talk to others who have experienced the treatment. For a few reasons you may want to have a friend or family member present during the procedure. This can ensure that your basic dignity and privacy are not compromised, if you are in any way worried about this. Also the dentist may relate useful information to them.
