Can anyone recommend a good dental surgeon in Bangkok or in Chiangmai who practices conscious sedation, preferably with really strong oral sedatives, and will be happy to prescribe painkillers like Tramadol after a surgery? If you can give me names, I'd really appreciate it.

conscious sedation is a term used to refer to treatment under nitrous oxide , or laughing gas.

it is a relatively mild form of sedation , helpful in treating nervous children and some adults. the patient is conscious but the gas has some anaesthetic properties.

oral sedatives , by which i presume you mean tablets , are not satisfactory , unless a small dose is taken to "calm down" an anxious person prior to treatment.

intravenous sedation might be a better option , involving an intravenous injection of a strong short acting sedative such as midazolam ,a procedure such as this is best carried out in a hospital dental department by a competent dentist/anaesthetist using the appropriate monitoring systems ( respiration and cardio).

intravenous sedatives are not anaesthetics , and a local anaesthetic will also be needed , but you wont be aware of receiving it.

the patient will have little or no recollection of the treatment. it is a very safe and pleasant way of having invasive dental treatment ( oral surgery )
