Anesthesia is a safe, effective medication that is used to numb pain during a number of medical procedures and for people who suffer from chronic pain. In dentistry, anesthesia can be used to make patients more comfortable during procedures such as
extractions,
implant placement, and more. With a number of different types of anesthesia, each with a unique set of risks and benefits, it’s important to talk with your doctor about what will be the right option for you. At A+ Family Dentistry, we are able to offer patients anesthesia in order to make certain dental procedures less stressful and pain-free.
What Is Anesthesia?
Anesthesia is a medication that is used to block pain signals from the brain. When anesthesia is used, the patient will not feel pain in the area of the body that is being treated. There are a variety of different types of anesthesia, each with different pros and cons. The type of anesthesia that you and your doctor choose for your treatment will depend on the type of procedure, your health history, your preferences, and more.
Dental Procedures That Use Anesthesia
There are many dental procedures in which anesthesia may be used, and some for which anesthesia may be considered optional. These include, but are not limited to:
How Long Does Anesthesia Take to Work?
The effects of anesthesia can vary depending on the type of medication used. Local anesthesia typically begins to work within a few minutes, while general anesthesia may take up to 30 minutes to take effect. The effects of sedation anesthesia can also vary depending on the medication used and the dosage.
