Oral Conscious Sedation
For adults who suffer from dental anxiety or fear, we offer a needle-free way to help you feel more relaxed, called oral conscious sedation. We'll prescribe you a pill that you'll take about one hour before your appointment. By the time you reach our dental office, you'll already feel at ease and be more comfortable. After the effects begin to wear off, you likely won't remember many details about your visit, making this form of sedation a great option for many patients.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation?
Sedation dentistry isn't just for patients with severe dental phobia. Many patients find it helpful when undergoing longer procedures, dealing with a sensitive gag reflex, or simply wanting a more relaxed experience in the treatment chair. If any of these situations sound familiar, talk to our team about whether sedation might be right for you.
