Sedation plays a crucial role in Paediatric Dentistry by managing anxiety, fear, and uncooperative behaviour in children undergoing dental treatment. The goal is to ensure a safe, comfortable, and positive dental experience. It is suitable even for adults with dental phobia, a strong gag reflex or sensitivity.
