Conscious Oral Sedation
What is oral sedation dentistry?
You may hear it referred to as "comfortable" or "relaxation" dentistry, the terms describe the feelings most patients experience during their sedation dentistry appointments. The use of sedative medications can help make you more comfortable so the dentist and his team can work more effectively, accomplishing more in less time with great quality.
A number of medications that can be taken by mouth have been developed especially for these purposes, subjected to rigorous research and testing, are safe and have been used for decades. Some of these can even help you remember little of the visit, preventing the sounds and smells from lingering in your thoughts. Other medications sometimes used in sedation protocols include antihistamines and insomnia medications which aid in creating a relaxing and calm experience.
Which patients benefit the most from sedation?
- People with high dental anxiety and fear
- Those with a severe gag reflex
- Those with time constraints - who need to get more dentistry done in fewer visits
- Patients with chronic or acute jaw soreness
- Or physical limitations such as back and neck problems
- People who have difficulty getting numb
- Those who need extensive treatment
- And people with a desire to have dentistry done comfortably while they are fully relaxed
