Dawn sleep: painless and relaxed for treatment in Hamm!

Dawn sleep: painless and relaxed for treatment in Hamm!

In the first quarter of 2025, the city of Bad Kreuznach has to deal with a variety of topics that are of both local and national importance. Marian Ristow, the head of the editorial association, to which the public display and the Nahe-Zeitung belong, the current situation describes: "In Bad Kreuznach there is hesitation when approaching problems", which is particularly evident against the background of the feeling of exhaustion, which many citizens feel in view of the intensive events, including the International News from Washington DC about US President Donald Trump.

These urban challenges are not only political in nature; They also affect health care. The so -called twilight sleeping plays an increasingly important role, especially in dental practice. The twilight sleep, a form of sedation or analgosis, is achieved through the administration of calming and painkillers. The common drugs include benzodiazepines, opioid analgesics, propofol, ketamine and dexmedetomidine that together create a state of relaxation and sleepiness.

twilight sleep in dentistry

The twilight sleep enables patients to stay relaxed while dental treatments or smaller surgical interventions are relaxed, while pain sensation and fear are significantly reduced. This is particularly advantageous for fear patients. The treatment usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, but can also be shorter or longer.

• Advantages of the twilight sleep:
  • Reduction of fear and stress
  • tolerance of painful interventions
  • no artificial ventilation necessary
  • shorter recovery time compared to general anesthesia
  • less possible side effects and risks
• Possible risks and side effects:
  • Allergic reactions
  • respiratory depression
  • circulatory problems
  • nausea and vomiting
  • dizziness and drowsiness
  • confusion and memory loss

The costs for twilight sleep treatment vary, but are usually between 100 and 200 euros. In addition, patients are comprehensively informed about their medical history and allergies before anesthesia in order to minimize possible risks. After the procedure, you should also be picked up by a confidant to ensure that you can recover appropriately.

The options of the anesthesia process

For patients who need treatment in the field of oral, jaw and facial surgery, many practices offer different anesthetic processes. This includes local anesthesia, classic general anesthesia and twilight sleep. The latter has proven itself in particular for smaller plastic operations and in fear patients.

The practice for mouth jaw-facial surgery in Hamm emphasizes that the twilight sleep not only enables safe but also pain-free treatments. State -of -the -art monitoring measures guarantee that patients will be cared for during the procedure and usually have no memory of the treatment.

Overall, it can be seen that the progressive application of twilight sleep is an important topic in Bad Kreuznach and far beyond. In view of the increasing subsidies by health insurance companies and the positive patient experiences, the twilight sleep will continue to gain in importance, not only in dentistry, but in many areas of modern surgery.
