These agents work on the central nervous system as a depressant as well as the functions that are associated with conscious awareness.

Anxiety
The reality is that there are many people that are petrified of going to the dentist.

This is the major factor in the end for both the patient and dentist’s comfort. The patient fears the idea of going to the dentist because it is supposed to be a painful event. Yet, the dentist will also feel uneasy about putting the patient through pain as they aim to correct an issue. With sedation dentistry, the patient does not have to fret over the pain aspect. This is important for anyone that wants to make sure they can go to the dentist without fearing for the life.
Sedation dentistry enables the dentist to take a few more progressive steps in making sure the treatment is completed swiftly. Since, the dentist does not have to worry about issues such as pain, they can get the job done quickly. Many treatment options that might have taken over 6-8 visits can be completed within one session. This is incredible for someone short on time and wanting results.
Stress is a major issue for patients. There are many patients who start shaking at the idea of going to the dentist for their lingering oral issues. This is unfortunate, but something that is common due to the pain and discomfort a patient can feel. Sedation dentistry puts the patient at ease and this is essential in this day and age. Ease is important for patients to remain calm and almost enjoy their time at the dentist.
