Would you love to update your smile and repair problem areas, but the anxiety you feel keeps you from scheduling a much-needed appointment? Through sedation dentistry, you can get the care you need and the vibrant smile you deserve.

With oral conscious sedation, you take a dose of anti-anxiety medication about an hour before your appointment. A responsible adult will need to drive you to and from the visit because the effects of the sedation can linger for up to 12 hours. During the procedure, the dentist and team will monitor your vital signs. Oral conscious sedation allows patients to enter a state of deep relaxation.

If you feel nervous about visiting the dentist, consider these points as you make your decision:

• Oral conscious sedation can safely and effectively relieve the anxiety many people feel about dental treatment.
• For people who are scared of needles or dislike the sights and smells in a dental office, oral conscious sedation can relieve these issues.
• Your dentist can perform several extensive procedures in one visit with oral conscious sedation.
• Patients who have trouble getting numb generally respond well to oral conscious sedation.
• If you have a hectic schedule, oral sedation allows you to limit the number of appointments needed to complete treatment.
• With oral conscious sedation, you can have a calm, peaceful dental experience.
