When Should I Consider Using Sedation Dentistry?
Patients can confuse sedation with pain relief. Here at Highland Dental, Our patients don’t feel a thing during any procedures due to our anesthetics. Dr. Garrison offers oral conscious sedation, not for pain, but to help patients deal with strong feelings of fear and anxiety that arise when they visit the dentist. After receiving sedation and completing their treatments, patients often experience a change in the entire way they view dental appointments going forward.
- Calm dental anxiety, dental phobia or a fear of the dentist
- Reduce tooth sensitivity or a sensitive gag reflex
- Oral sedation can be used for patients with a fear of needles
- Recommended for lengthy or complex dental procedures
- Effective for patients who cannot get numb with regular anesthetic
Oral Conscious Sedation
At your consultation, Dr. Garrison will carefully review your medical history before determining if you are a good candidate for needle-free sedation dentistry with oral conscious sedation. She will also walk you through everything you need to know about the process to feel confident and in control, even before any treatment begins. Oral conscious sedation refers to the use of a small pill that is easily ingested, so you can begin to feel relaxed even before your appointment begins. During the process, you remain awake enough to respond to your dentist, yet you may feel sleepy.
