How does Oral Conscious Sedation work?
What can I expect during an appointment with Oral Conscious Sedation?
Oral conscious sedation will make you feel drowsy and tired, but also allows our staff to wake you if needed. This type of sedation helps patients relax and stay calm, but also allows the doctor to communicate with the patient because you are still somewhat conscious. Most patients do not remember anything about their dental procedure after oral conscious sedation.
Our doctor and staff will monitor you closely during the entire procedure. We advise patients bring a friend or family member with them to their appointment, so that you can be driven home safely. We recommend they stay with you at home until the sedative wears off in a few hours. The recovery after oral conscious sedation is a lot quicker compared to other sedation methods. You may feel a slight headache after your procedure, but most patients do not experience any side effects.
What are the benefits of Oral Conscious Sedation?
Many patients can benefit from oral conscious sedation. This method of sedation dentistry can help with fear or anxiety, especially if you have had a negative experience in the past. Oral conscious sedation can also assist patients who have physical or mental limitations, or those that have a difficult time sitting still for a dental appointment. Safety is our number one priority, and our staff will ensure you receive the very best care. Our goal is for all of our patients to be able to receive the dental care they need, and our sedation options can help you take control of your oral health.
