Can all dentists use sedation techniques?

No, sedation techniques cannot be employed by all dentists. Sedation dentistry can be quite complex, and most dentists who are interested in using these drugs must be licensed to do so. Most dentists will mention on their websites if they have the appropriate licenses. If they do not, it may be a good idea to contact their offices to ask. It is important to remember that dentists’ sedation drugs require special training. lakeaustinfamilydental.com.

If the patient is apprehensive or a complicated extraction procedure is to be performed, then conscious sedation such as laughing gas is given to the patient. If some extensive procedure is to be done in children, then also conscious sedation is given.
