There are three main levels of sedation dentistry.we explain each Level of Sedation:
1) Anxiolysis
This is the method of light sedation. There are several ways to sedate a patient to result to Anxiolysis. The most common is the inhalation of nitrous oxide. The patient will then be totally relaxed and ready for treatment.
2) Conscious sedation
A more moderate sedation will occur from either oral sedation or the inhalation of nitrous oxide. This will induce a relaxed state where the patient is still awake and able to respond. But will feel in a state of extreme relaxation.
3) Deep sedation
This is often the state between conscious and unconsciousness. The patient will not be able to respond to any commands.
