Fellow of The Academy of General Dentistry TWILIGHT SLEEP Twilight sleep is the lay term for con scious patient sedation„a technique used to allow people to have dental work done while in a very relaxed state, that is asleep or nearly asleep. This technique is useful for people who are fearful or nervous, as they are unaware of any dental procedures being done. The pa tient is not unconscious, but his or her con sciousness is at a very low level, hence the descriptive term "Twilight Sleep.” Many dental offices find that I. V. sedation seems to be the most effective means of inducing sleep. Breathing nitrous oxide has also been useful for many patients. People are reporting very pleasing re suits with this technique. Many people who formerly were unable to tolerate dental proce dures are now able to have even extensive work done easily. There is no reason in today's modern dentistry to have anxiety or fear be an obstacle to receiving needed care. You can be com pletely relaxed through an entire procedure and not know what's happening until the den tist says, gently: "Time to wake up now."
