Are afraid or embarrassed by their teeth
BENEFITS OF ORAL CONSCIOUS SEDATION:
§
It’s very effective for mild to moderate anxiety
§
It’s safe and easy
§
You can breathe and speak on your own
§
It’s less expensive than IV sedation
§
in many cases, you can get ALL of your dental work done in one
visit
Unlike general anesthesia which renders patients completely unconscious,
oral conscious
sedation leaves you able to speak and breathe on your own. Although
you will not actually
be asleep, you will enjoy a heightened state of relaxation – and probably
won’t remember
much about the procedure afterwards. Your appointment will be a dream and
hours in the
chair will feel like minutes.
Oral conscious sedation will put you at ease so you experience little
to no discomfort:
however, your doctor will also administer a local anesthetic to ensure that
you don’t
experience any pain. At this point in the procedure you’ll be so relaxed
that you’ll hardly
even notice.
Whether you’re anxious about going to the dentist or just too busy for
multiple visits, OCS
can be a great solution to getting ALL your dental work done during one
visit… comfortably
and stress-free.
How does sedation dentistry work?
Two appointments are generally required for a procedure utilizing oral
conscious sedation.
During your first visit, your doctor will take a detailed health history.
If you’re comfortable,
he will look in your mouth and take dental x-rays. Next you’ll be given a
prescription for a
sedative medication to take the night before your second appointment so you
can enjoy a
good night’s sleep.
You’ll be asked to have a companion bring you to and from the office for
your second visit.
Once you arrive, you’ll take additional medication to ensure that you are in
a tranquil state of
mind. You will be covered with a thick warm blanket and placed on a monitor
to watch your
vital signs. After you are comfortable, Dr. Cyriac and the experienced
clinical team at Dental
Aesthetics will take care of your dental needs. Our sedation experts will
monitor your
comfort throughout your entire visit.
When your treatment is completed, your companion will return you home to
finish your
comfortable, relaxing day.
Don’t let fear keep you having a healthy,
sparkling smile.
