Oral Sedation:
What is Oral Sedation?
Many patients of all ages are apprehensive about receiving dental treatment, often avoiding visiting the dentist. Ultimately, this avoidance can lead to advanced disease and the need for expensive treatments that could have been avoided.
Oral sedation provides a safe, effective way to alleviate dental anxiety and provide patients with the treatment they need.
How it works:
Oral sedation makes use of a prescription medication that induces a drowsy, relaxed feeling. This is an oral medication and intra-venous needles are not used. Due to the relaxing effects of the medication, patients must have a friend or family member bring them to the dental office and return them home.
During oral sedation, patients' vital signs are monitored. Although patients are not completely unconscious, many sleep through the appointment and have little memory of the treatment.
Advantages of oral sedation:
Oral sedation is an excellent method of treatment for patients who have any of the following concerns:
- Discomfort with needles and shots
- Dental anxiety
- Difficulty getting numb
- Very sensitive teeth
- Extensive Dental Needs
