Oral conscious
sedation and sedation dentistry can change your life!
Oral Conscious Sedation is a safe and simple
way to significantly reduce or eliminate dental fear and
anxiety. It is as easy as taking a pill!
Sedation Dentistry refers to the way a
dentist can manage pain and anxiety during dental appointments.
Sedation Dentistry helps eliminate the anxieties that people
feel at the dental office and virtually eliminates the pain
associated with dental procedures.
Conscious Sedation or Oral Conscious Sedation
in dentistry is defined as a minimally reduced level of
consciousness that retains the patient's ability to independently
and continuously maintain an airway as well as awareness.
Unlike General Anesthesia where a patient
is completely unconscious, asleep, and unable to respond,
patients under Conscious Sedation are able to respond to
conversations and breathe on their own. Also unlike General
Anesthesia or I.V. sedation, Oral Conscious sedation does
not require needles to administer and does not have the
higher fees associated with I.V. Sedation.
Oral Conscious Sedation protocols have
been used safely for over 30 years but were recently enhanced
to significantly improve the dental experience. There are
no needles required to administer Oral Conscious Sedation
and you will feel little or no discomfort once you are sedated.
