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.

FAQ Twilight sleep

What is the difference between twilight sleep and general anesthesia?

In contrast to general anesthesia, artificial ventilation is not necessary during twilight sleep. You breathe on your own initiative, but you are in a relaxed and fear-free twilight sleep. In Germany, training in intravenous analgesia (twilight sleep) is part of the training catalog within oral surgery specialist dentist training. We therefore do not need an anesthetist to perform the twilight sleep, which minimizes your costs.
