Benefits of Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry comes with several benefits that are focused on improving the overall patient experience:

  • Patients who are otherwise too fearful to undergo dental care are able to receive treatment while feeling much less stress.
  • For patients who struggle to stay seated for a long time or those with sensitive gag reflexes, sedation dentistry can ensure comfort throughout the whole visit.
  • Sedation dentistry is safe for patients of all ages and with various medical conditions.

How Oral Conscious Sedation Works

Oral conscious sedation is very straightforward; before your appointment, you’ll take a prescribed medication (usually in the form of a small pill). By the time you’re seated in the chair, its effects will have kicked in and you’ll feel totally relaxed, unstressed, and ready for treatment. It’s recommended that you have someone bring you to your appointment and take you home afterward if you’re undergoing dental sedation.
