Why do some dentists prefer the pill method of sedation to gas?

Usually facility...: "pills" offer a constant, controlled dose of medication that will be appropriate for the condition. It requires a simple prescription and an up to date set of emergency drugs in the office. "gas" requires the facility to have plumbing, equipment, monitoring and emergency drugs. Preference may simply be deeper control of anxiety.

Many reasons: There are distinct differences between gas and pill. Most dentists don't use gas because they think it is reserved for kids or it gets in the way. More and more dentists are using the pill because people are afraid of going to the dentist and because they can make more money and get more dentistry done.

Depends: It depends on the skill level of the doctor. Also, it may depend on how well the dental clinic is equipped for various types of sedation.

Consult with your doctor. : Bone grafts are usually done to preserve the bone structure or to rebuild the bone structure for dental implants to be solid. There are many different types of bone grafts available and it is best to discuss the procedure with your doctor.

A face surgeon: An oral and maxillofacial surgeon is an oral surgeon. There are a range of procedures that the oral surgeon performs in the face and neck region which can include, sleep apnea surgery, jaw surgery, removal of teeth, sedation, bone grafting, placement of dental implants, removal of jaw tumors and lesions, reconstruction of the jaws and face, facial cosmetic surgery, surgery for cleft lip and palate etc.

Ice packs: Ice down the extraction sites for the first 3 days. Also, avoid any strenuous activity and some doctors may recommend steroids for 5 days.

dental veeners: Veeners are like press on nails for teeth. They are shells of white material that cover the front of the teeth hiding the stains.

Usually not: If the doctor knows what he or she is doing, then the procedure should run smooth and there would be minimal discomfort afterwards.

Depends: Not all wisdom teeth are created equally. Some are angled, straight or even sideways. It depends how the procedure went, the patient (medical issues) and how your pain tolerance level.

Pain medications: If you are having pain, see a dentist and you may need to have your wisdom teeth extracted. In the short term, you can take pain medications.

An xray by the dentist: Your dentist based on an xray can see the development of the wisdom teeth. Have him or her take a look.

Easier: I use both pill and nitrous gas forms of sedation. I prefer tablets because i find the nitrous just ads more apparatus to the treatment room and some patients don't like the feeling of something tightly around their nose.
