Thanks. What drugs are considered sedation?
I'm not quite sure which medications they use for either general or sedation. I've never really asked to be honest Lol but you should ask to see if the meds will bother your mother.

oh.. then I guess I'm still confused then. I always assumed it means the same thing.
No...sedation is a light sleep. General is a deeper sleep. They use different medications. I'm just not sure which med is used for each procedure. I know when I go in for my colonoscopies they use Versed and I am awake immediately after they are done. But when I've been under general, they use a combination of meds and I feel extremely groggy afterwards.

My mom was on versed and fentanyl for her dental surgery and those were a powerful combination. Unless someone is getting operated on from the inside I really don't see why something so strong would be needed. My mom falls asleep from just sitting there for 5 minutes so Benadryl it is. Thanks.
Could the dental infection be causing issues with your mothers brain? Brain is inches away
Wouldn't that be something if it were true? People who get their cavities taken out suddenly start to think clear? I wish! No, my mom's always had bad teeth. The latest is that she will get 2 bottom teeth removed. The dentist wants to do a root canal but why bother and make her suffer? We had to do sedation so the less the better. We are going to try Benadryl with versed on an IV drip sometime next month. Too much stress.
Could be true. Morcola has some articles talking about the polymicrobial infections one gets in the jaw and the toxins they kick off.
Actually several docs write about this.
My guess is that it true in a percentage of people and for some reason the dentist and docs never look at the jaw. Know that there are hundreds of docs in the world who start in the jaw. Then again most dentist still place mercury 2 inches from brain ( the world's second most deadly element)
best of luck

Hi Bella, I, too, am helping my dear mom with her dementia and watching the symptoms and changes. Wanted to send you my support and good thoughts for you and your mom.
