Dental Conscious Sedation (Sedation Therapy) — The Equipment You Need, Prepared Like This 😴

To those who have been afraid of dental treatment

YeSMIR Dental Clinic’s conscious sedation (sedation therapy)

Hello.

This is Yesmir Dental Clinic in Gangdong Godeok Biz Valley

“Have you been putting off dental treatment again and again?”

“Have you ever had a hard time during treatment because of gag reflexes or tension?”

At Yesmir Dental Clinic, for patients who feel a strong fear of dental treatment or a heavy burden from pain,

we provide conscious sedation (sedation therapy), which helps patients receive treatment in a more relaxed state while remaining conscious.

💬 What is conscious sedation?

Patients are often familiar with the terms “sleep dentistry” or “sleep anesthesia,”

but the correct term is conscious sedation.

Conscious sedation

is a method that uses sedative medication administered intravenously to reduce tension

and help patients feel less anxious about treatment.

Patients remain conscious and can give simple responses,

but in many cases, the memory of the treatment is blurry or hardly remains at all.

This method is performed under moderate sedation rather than general anesthesia,

and is applied in limited situations under the supervision of medical staff.

👀 This may be recommended for the following people

• People who become tense or fear pain whenever they visit the dentist

• People who have dental treatment trauma or have had experience stopping treatment midway

• People with a strong gag reflex (nausea reflex)

• People who need surgical treatment such as wisdom tooth extraction or implants

• People who need to receive multiple treatments at once due to time constraints

• Older adults or people whose treatment is burdened by systemic conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes

※ Conscious sedation is not a method applied to all patients, and whether it will be performed is determined by comprehensively considering the medical staff’s judgment and the patient’s condition.

📡 The patient’s condition is monitored in real time during treatment

Yesmir Dental Clinic, when performing conscious sedation,

continuously checks the patient’s vital signs through dedicated monitoring equipment,

and preparation is also made to prevent emergency situations.

▪ Bionet BrioX30

It measures ECG, SpO₂, heart rate, blood pressure, and more in real time

to help keep the patient’s condition stable.

▪ ETCO₂ (end-tidal carbon dioxide) monitor

This is equipment used to check respiratory status, which is one of the most important factors during sedation therapy.

By measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide exhaled during breathing,

it helps detect signs of reduced breathing or cessation early.

At Yesmir Dental Clinic, when performing conscious sedation treatment,

treatment is carried out in a private treatment room equipped with dedicated devices and a monitoring system,

in an environment where the patient’s condition can be focused on.

Sedation treatment is performed in a separate, specially managed space,

in a structure designed with emergency response readiness and privacy protection in mind.

Things you must check before conscious sedation (sleep treatment)

• It is different from general anesthesia.

• The patient receives treatment while remaining conscious and can respond to the medical staff’s guidance.

• Preparation in advance is required.

• Fasting (4–6 hours), checking any medications being taken, reviewing health status, and completing consent forms are required,

• and if necessary, having a companion present and receiving instructions for precautions after returning home are included.

• and whether it will be applied is determined through consultation before treatment.
