If you have discomfort in your smile or other issues that need treatment, including missing teeth, then we can help. But if you have concerns about your comfort during the procedure or if you have anxiety about the dentist in general, then talk to our team about our calming options. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about ensuring your comfort with oral conscious sedation, so you can obtain the care you need to smile with confidence!
When You Benefit from Oral Conscious Sedation
When do we recommend a calming option like oral conscious sedation for our patients? This could be helpful for people undergoing more extensive treatments, such as wisdom tooth extraction, dental implant placement, or even grafting or sinus lift procedure. This could also help calm patients with a serious fear of the dentist, or assist those with special needs, as some situations may make it difficult to undergo even minor procedures, such as a cleaning.
How We Choose Your Calming Option
How do we choose the right option for you? How do we know if oral conscious sedation is the perfect choice to ensure your comfort during your time with us? Our team will look at several different factors, such as your age and weight, as well as your medical history, including any medications you are currently taking. We also want to assess your anxiety levels and any special needs you or your family member may have. With this information, we can choose the right way to ensure your comfort during your treatment.
Oral Conscious Sedation
With this selection, we have an option more substantial than nitrous oxide, but one that allows you to stay conscious and able to respond to the dentist as needed. We will recommend avoiding food and drink for about a few hours and will schedule treatment in the morning. We then offer this in a pill or liquid form before the procedure, and you enter a deepest state of calm with no memory of the process at all. When the procedure ends, a friend or family member can bring you home as you may feel a bit groggy.
If you have any questions about oral conscious sedation, then reach out to our team today to learn more.
