When people see our team and undergo treatment that is more extensive, such as oral surgery or more serious restorative treatment, then we want to ensure the process is comfortable for them. To do so, our team will offer dental sedation. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about oral conscious sedation.
When Our Patients Need Dental Sedation
When do we prescribe sedation for our patients? If someone is undergoing a more extensive treatment, such as tooth extraction, jawbone grafting, or dental implant placement, then we could offer a calming solution to help them reach a deep state of calm and relaxation. This is also essential for oral surgeries too. If a patient has a high anxiety level about visiting the dentist, or special needs that make undergoing even minor treatments difficult, this could help them enjoy a positive experience in our office. That is always important to our team, that you receive quality care and you enjoy your time with us!
Choosing the Best Selection for You
Along with the oral conscious sedation we are discussing in today’s blog, we also offer options like nitrous oxide and IV. But how do we choose which one is right for our patients? We look at a number of different factors. For example, we assess your age, weight, and medical history. We take any medications you are currently taking into account as well. Our team also looks at your anxiety levels and other factors. We get to know you, so that we know which option is best for you or your family member.
Oral Conscious Sedation
If we recommend this option for you, we will advise you to avoid food and drink in the six to eight hours before the procedure begins, and we will likely schedule the appointment for the morning. Arrive in loose and comfortable clothing, and you can bring a blanket or pillow that helps you feel more relaxed. We will offer this calming agent in a pill or liquid form, and you will enter a very deep state of calm, with little to no memory of the procedure. But you will remain conscious and able to respond to the dentist as needed. Our trained staff will monitor you throughout!
