WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SEDATION?

• 
• Mild Sedation - Although cognitive function and coordination may be impaired, breathing and heart functions are unaffected. This is our offices goal with oral sedation.
• Moderate Sedation - With moderate sedation, no intervention is required to maintain an open airway, spontaneous breathing is adequate, and heart function is usually maintained.
• Deep Sedation - The ability to independently maintain breathing may be impaired requiring assistance to maintain an open airway. Heart function is usually maintained. This is the type of sedation being provided with in-office IV sedation.
• General Anesthesia - The ability to independently maintain breathing is often impaired requiring assistance to maintain an open airway, and positive-pressure ventilation may be required because of depressed spontaneous ventilation or drug-induced depression of neuromuscular function. Heart function may be impaired. This is the type of sedation being provided in a hospital care setting.

Visit Sierra Springs Dental and we would be happy to provide mild, effective nitrous oxide sedation to help our patients of all ages receive the pain and stress free dental care experience that they deserve.
