About Oral Sedation
Dental anxiety and fear can prevent you from receiving the oral health care you need, creating a cycle where avoided dental visits lead to more serious problems that require more extensive treatment. Oral sedation provides a safe, effective way to help anxious patients feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures, allowing you to receive necessary care without the stress and worry that might otherwise keep you away from the dentist. Our carefully monitored oral sedation protocols help even the most anxious patients undergo dental treatment comfortably and safely.
Understanding Dental Anxiety
Many patients feel embarrassed about their dental fears, but anxiety about dental treatment is incredibly common and completely understandable. Whether your fears stem from past negative experiences, concerns about pain, feeling claustrophobic in the dental chair, or general anxiety about medical procedures, these feelings are valid and we take them seriously. Oral sedation can help you overcome these barriers to care and maintain your oral health.
Safe Oral Sedation Protocol
Oral sedation involves taking prescribed medication before your dental appointment to help you feel relaxed and comfortable during treatment. Unlike intravenous sedation, oral sedation uses medication taken by mouth, making it a convenient and less invasive option for managing dental anxiety. The medication helps reduce anxiety while allowing you to remain conscious and responsive throughout your procedure.
Patient Evaluation and Monitoring
Patient evaluation before oral sedation ensures your safety and determines the most appropriate medication and dosage for your needs. We review your medical history, current medications, and any allergies to identify any factors that might affect sedation safety or effectiveness. This thorough assessment helps ensure that oral sedation is appropriate for you and allows us to customize the approach to your specific needs.
Recovery and Benefits
Recovery from oral sedation is gradual, with most patients feeling somewhat drowsy for several hours after their appointment. You'll need a responsible adult to drive you home and should plan to rest for the remainder of the day. Most patients can return to normal activities the following day.
The benefits of oral sedation extend beyond just anxiety relief to include improved comfort during lengthy procedures, reduced gag reflex for patients who have difficulty with dental impressions or X-rays, and the ability to complete more treatment in a single visit.
