What Is Oral-Conscious Sedation?
Dental technology has advanced leaps and bounds in a short period of time. However, anxiety and fear of undergoing a dental procedure still deter many patients from scheduling appointments for regular dental exams and cleanings. Our team proudly provides oral-conscious sedation to help you feel more comfortable and relaxed during your appointment. An anti-anxiety pill can be prescribed to be taken prior to your appointment so you will be in a calm state of mind but able to follow directions. If you would like to learn more about oral-conscious sedation for your appointments at Sanchez Dentistry, request a consultation today at our San Antonio, TX practice.
What Should I Expect with Oral-Conscious Sedation?
There are several sedation medications that can be used. The type chosen will be influenced by you, your specific fears, your overall health, what procedure is being performed, and the predicted amount of time your appointment will take. Your oral-conscious sedation medication will be prescribed during your consultation so that you can have it filled before your procedure. Because you will be taking the medication before you arrive, you will need to plan for a responsible adult to drive you to our practice. If you have chosen light oral-conscious sedation, you will remain relaxed but will still be conscious and alert. With heavier sedation, you will also stay conscious, but your memory will get a bit spotty. You may drift off to sleep but should wake up easily.
What Are the Benefits of Oral-Conscious Sedation?
Oral-conscious sedation at Sanchez Dentistry affords numerous advantages for patients undergoing dental care, resulting in a more tranquil and efficient procedure. These advantages include:
- Increasing the all-around efficiency of oral treatments
- Reducing pain during the procedure
- Lessening anxiety, helping to feel relaxed for the entirety of the treatment
- Increasing patient compliance, encouraging a smoother procedure
- Reducing gag reflex
- Easy to dispense, only necessitating that the individual take a pill
