What Anesthesia's Are Used in Dental Surgery?

Logan Rokwild

When undergoing dental surgery, one is usually placed under anesthesia. Going under such drugs can cause fear in some people, however, they are usually quite safe as long as you let you're dentist know of any medications or health problems you have. The following are the most common anesthesia that is used for dental surgery in the USA. Nitrous Oxide or N2O, which is more commonly referred to as laughing gas, is a drug that connects to the hemoglobin in the lungs and travels to the brain, causing a disengaged and spaced out sensation. Common local anesthetics, (drugs that prevent infection and numb the patient) include, Lidocaine, Lidocaine and Marcaine, which are derived from cocaine and striped of the stimulating properties. These may be used together, depending on the person and operation. While usually safe, these can result in toxicity which can include dizziness, confusion, coma, or seizures. In extreme cases, it may result in a cardiovascular system collapse.

Talk to your doctor for more details. Eugenol is made from clove oil and is used by dentists as a topical treatment to perhaps numb the skin for a needle or for minor procedures. For major dental surgeries, a general anesthetic is often used such as Versed, Ketamine or Fetynyl which cause the patient to become completely unconscious and oblivious to pain. If you are planning on having dental surgery in the near future, and you have any questions about the types of anesthetics are going to be used, please don't hesitate to confront your doctor or dentist with any concerns you might have.

Of course, all cosmetic dentistry procedures must be carefully planned with expected outcomes clearly discussed but it can be a procedure as relatively simple as reshaping a few teeth. The past few years, one of the most requested cosmetic dentistry procedures is tooth whitening. It's literally taken America by storm. Tooth whitening can be approached in a number of different...
