Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is the use of an anxiety-reducing, oral medication that helps patients relax and calmly receive dental care. Oral conscious sedation is an FDA-approved method of sedation that's been used for decades to help patients overcome dental fear. The entire process is simple and comfortable.
Usually, you will take the medication 1 to 2 hours before your dental appointment, so you'll arrive at our office more rested and relaxed. We will gauge your anxiety level prior to your treatment. If needed, nitrous oxide will be given to further relax you, and our experienced sedation dentistry team will monitor your vital signs during the procedure. The effects of the sedative should subside by the following day.
Although your dental procedures may take hours, you will feel as if they take only minutes. Some patients become so relaxed that they fall asleep in the dentist’s chair. Sedation medications have an amnesic effect, so you’ll have few, if any, memories of the visit. You can immediately enjoy your improved smile.
