It is commonly used in dentistry to help people tolerate procedures when anxiety, gag reflex, or treatment length would otherwise be a barrier. Patients typically continue to breathe on their own, and protective airway reflexes are generally maintained. It is different from deep sedation and general anesthesia, where responsiveness and airway support needs can be greater."}
