We know that for some people, even minor dental treatments could be difficult due to their anxiety. We want to make sure that this fear does not stand between you and the smile you deserve. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about how we offer a comfortable experience with oral conscious sedation.
When You Need a Calming Option
We recommend this for people with dental anxiety, as their very real fears could make undergoing even a minor treatment like a clearing a difficult process. Likewise, if a person has special needs or an overactive gag reflex, this could also complicate care. Our team also looks at the treatments you are undergoing, as this can be helpful for those receiving more advanced care, such as tooth extraction or dental implant placement. We want you to be able to enjoy your time in the office, so you don’t dread future visits or routine care, and you can enjoy a stronger and healthier smile as a result.
Selecting the Right Choice for You
How do we decide if this is the right calming option for you? Our team will take a look at multiple factors, such as your age, medical history, weight, and anxiety levels. We also look at any medications you are currently taking. With this information, we can decide if oral conscious sedation is the right choice for you!
Oral Conscious Sedation
We recommend you arrive in comfortable and loose-fitting clothing. You should avoid food and drink in the six to the eight hours before the procedure begins. Our team will administer the sedation through a pill or liquid form. When you take this, you enter a deep state of calm and relaxation, more substantial than nitrous oxide. But you still remain conscious and able to respond to the dentist as needed, while also having little to no memory of the procedure. The effects take time to wear off, so you need to have a friend or family member on hand to take you home afterward. If you have any questions about how we ensure a calm and relaxing visit with oral conscious sedation, then contact our team today.
