Who has experience with nitrous oxide sedation?

who has experience with nitrous oxide sedation at the dentist? Do you still get local anesthesia on the tooth to be treated? What about side effects? Do you have to pay anything for this sedation?

Kind regards Geeny

A few additions and corrections to the previously registered items:

Laughing gas is an anesthetic that has an analgesic effect, but is hardly asleep, so it does not raise consciousness to the extent that is necessary and customary for general anesthesia. The effects are dose dependent. Nitrous oxide is mixed with oxygen. A 25% share of nitrous oxide loosens, relaxes, tingles in the body, 50% has a pain-relieving and even more mood-enhancing effect, sometimes to the point of euphoria and enthusiasm, the concentration is increased, dream experiences can occur, but it can also lead to that the memory is completely gone, like a sedation with Dormicum.

What is sedation?

The "sleeping syringe" enables a twilight sleep even during less pleasant examinations such as gastrointestinal mirroring

Syringe, tablet, infusion: Sedative active ingredients come in a wide variety of dosage forms

The pain threshold of the individual can be very different. While some prefer one every time they visit the dentist "sleeping syringe" others would get fillings and wisdom teeth pulled without batting an eyelid.

But what is it with the syringe that makes you tired and makes you forget pain?

Sedation instead of general anesthesia

Dental treatment in deep sleep without fear of pain

Who would not want that ? A dental treatment that you don’t notice, and that you sort of follow the entire procedure "oversleep". In modern dentistry this is possible today in order to achieve the greatest possible success in treatment of extensive tooth restorations, surgical interventions or in special cases of the treatment of anxiety patients.

In classic dental treatment, narcotics are used to eliminate pain, which have a local effect on the area to be treated in the pharynx. But the administration of the anesthetic through an injection already causes discomfort in many patients. In addition, local anesthesia may not be sufficient or not effective enough in some treatment cases. In these cases, additional sedation using nitrous oxide or a sedative such as Midazolam / Dormicum may be useful.

Sedation in dentistry – a current overview

Beyond pure local anesthesia, particularly anxious and / or pain-sensitive patients can benefit from modern sedation procedures. In an interview for the DZW, the Cologne anesthesiologist and emergency doctor Dr. med. Frank Mathers provides information on the current status of sedation in dentistry.

DZW: Dr. Mathers, what is the term “sedation”??

Dr. med. Frank Mathers: The word “sedation” is derived from the Latin term “sedare”, which means “to calm down”. In medicine or dentistry, this means the pharmacologically induced damping of functions of the central nervous system, in which a patient does not necessarily lose consciousness.

Sedation at the dentist? (Health and medicine)

Sedation at the dentist?

I’m going to get sedation / twilight sleep at the dentist today to have my four whitening teeth operated out. Since the operation can take a little longer (two teeth are crooked) I am now afraid that I will have to go to the toilet during the operation, which of course will not be possible. Does anyone have any experience if you can feel the need to go to the toilet during sedation? Or you don’t care about anything?

Neeee. Everything cool :). I fell asleep right away. Woke up in between and just heard the dentist swear, haha. But there was no pain and I was gone again. So don’t stress yourself, your worries are unfounded. ;-)

What does sedation mean??

Many dental patients experience tremendous fear from the dentist and even tremble at the first appointment. This fear may come from an earlier bad experience or from trauma that cannot be forgotten in anxiety patients.

With larger dental treatment such as tooth implantation, the implantologist must be able to work in peace, which is very difficult, if not impossible, for anxious patients who move their heads back and forth or cannot sustain a long dental treatment while sitting still.

In modern dentistry, as an anxious patient, you have the option of having dental treatment with sedation.

Sedation – Relieve Your Panic & Treat your ache at the dentist

Exactly what is aware of sedation ?

Mindful of sedation is often an incredibly protected, fairly efficient, and very efficient way of providing stress and pain relief grip during the course of dental strategies. You will find two groups of patients who benefit from this method:

Clients who are reasonably uncomfortable or have long processes of this type such as wisdom tooth removal or other demanding procedures.
People who panic most types of dentistry and who often avoid visiting the dentist.
Usually directly into a vein on the forearm or back of the hand – the medication that we supplied intravenously in sedation. The injection can bring about mild discomfort. These drugs, used the same or comparable to drugs used under anesthesia but in a lower load and / or in more compact doses .

Anesthesia and sedation

© Dr. Volker Ludwig anesthesia – what is it?
In general, a distinction is made between anesthesia and sedation in the dental practice. Under general or general anesthesia, the patient’s consciousness and respiratory function are completely switched off. He is artificially ventilated during the treatment, feels nothing, perceives nothing and remembers nothing.

Sedation or analog sedation means calming the patient with medication and reducing the feeling of pain. The patient is put into a kind of half sleep or trance.

From relaxed-but-conscious to deep sleep – possibilities of modern anesthesia in dentistry

Thanks to effective local anesthetics, dentist patients no longer have to suffer pain in the dental chair. In addition, three forms of general anesthesia are available to dentists for longer, complex procedures or for "complicated" patients for one reason or another.

Sedation, twilight sleep and anesthesia

The transition between these three forms is fluid and primarily a question of dosage. In principle, all three stages can be brought about with many active substances in a dose-dependent manner – even if other medications are used for sedation and twilight sleep than for general anesthesia. Accordingly, the available anesthetic measures offer a spectrum of finely tuned options. This
