Local anesthesia is a method that entails injecting a medication directly into or near the specific region where a medical procedure is taking place. This approach effectively numbs the area, thus abolishing any sensation of pain. However, it does not have any impact on an individual’s mental state or level of anxiety. When a patient undergoes sedation, additional drugs are utilized beforehand to ease anxiety and induce relaxation. By combining sedation with local anesthesia, both the stress and discomfort associated with the procedure can be alleviated. The administration of sedation can be customized to meet the specific needs of each patient, as recommended by the dentist or dental anesthesiologist.
