Have the Smile You Deserve without the
Anxiety or Fear!
There are many reasons 50% of the population put dental care at the bottom of
the
healthcare list. Some people are downright fearful while others have suffered
bad
experiences in the past, or some need extensive care and simply can’t find
enough hours
in the day.
It’s time to rest easy. Oral Sedation Dentistry is here!
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 helps eliminate the anxieties that people feel at the dental
office and
virtually eliminates the pain associated with dental procedures. You will be
sedated just
enough to be unaware of the treatment, as if you were snoozing. You will wake up
with
little or no memory of what was accomplished, because you were completely
comfortable.
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.
Before starting any treatments, your doctor will review your medical history and
explain
how Oral Conscious Sedation can work for you and answer all of your questions.
On the day of your Oral Conscious Sedation Dentist appointment, you will take
the
medication - a pill - and have a companion take you to your dentist's office.
Experienced
clinical team members are with you during your entire visit to make certain that
you are
completely relaxed and comfortable and continue to monitor your comfort very
closely
throughout your treatment.
Imagine we can do years worth of dental treatments in one or two visits. Imagine
being
able to smile with confidence and chew your food without pain. The smile you
have always
dreamed of is only a phone call away!!
