Sedation and Anesthesia

For many people, visiting the dentist is associated with fear and anxiety, especially when it comes to complex or lengthy procedures. At “Chibis” clinic, we care about our patients’ comfort and offer modern methods of pain relief and calming, such as sedation, general anesthesia, and inhalation analgesia. These methods allow us to perform dental treatments without stress and pain, which is particularly important for children and patients with high anxiety levels. We invite you for a consultation where our specialists will help you choose the best method of pain relief for your dental treatment to make your dental visit as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Dental Treatment Under General Anesthesia in Kyiv

General anesthesia, or “medication-induced sleep,” is a state in which the patient is completely relaxed and does not feel pain during the procedure. This method allows us to perform even the most complex dental operations without any discomfort to the patient. General anesthesia is especially recommended for cases that require prolonged or complicated treatment, as well as for patients who have severe fear of dental procedures.

Before performing treatment under general anesthesia, our anesthesiologists carefully assess the patient’s health and determine the optimal dosage of medications to ensure safe and comfortable treatment. After the procedures are completed, the patient gradually wakes up and can leave the clinic once fully recovered.

Dental Treatment Under Sedation

Sedation is a method that helps alleviate stress and anxiety during dental treatment while keeping the patient conscious. Sedation can vary in intensity—from light calming to deep sedation, which provides almost complete tranquility and relaxation. This method is often used for patients with high pain sensitivity, fear of treatment, or when prolonged intervention is required.

During sedation, the patient remains conscious but does not feel pain and may not remember the details of the procedure. This makes sedation an ideal option for both children and adults who experience fear of the dentist.

Inhalation Analgesia

Inhalation analgesia, or “laughing gas,” is a pain relief method where the patient inhales a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a mask. This gas has a mild sedative effect, which helps the patient relax and reduce anxiety during the procedure. Inhalation analgesia is particularly popular among children as it is safe, acts quickly, and has minimal side effects.

After the procedure, the effects of the gas wear off quickly, and the patient can return to their normal activities without any restrictions. This makes inhalation analgesia an excellent option for those seeking a gentle and effective method of pain relief.
