Oral conscious sedation is a safe, effective way to help patients relax during their appointments, which in turn leads to a more positive and stress-free dental experience. This type of sedation dentistry has many benefits for those who need it.

• Anxiety & Phobias: Oral conscious sedation has come to the rescue of many individuals who suffer from dental anxiety or fear when undergoing dental procedures. It’s important to note that the medication can be given in varying degrees of strength, depending on the level of anxiety and the type of procedure being performed.
• Fear of Needles: For some people, the thought of receiving a needle can send them into a panic. Whether it is due to a traumatic experience in the past or simply a fear of pain, this aversion can make dental procedures seem unbearable. That’s where oral conscious sedation comes in. This method uses medication to help patients relax and feel more comfortable during their appointments. The great thing about oral conscious sedation is that it doesn’t require needles at all.
• Gag Reflexes: Gagging is an involuntary reflex that can make even routine dental procedures feel uncomfortable, making it difficult to relax and making appointments feel more stressful than they need to be. Thankfully, oral conscious sedation can help you feel relaxed and at ease throughout the procedure. But perhaps most importantly, it can help suppress your gag reflex, allowing our dentist to work quickly and efficiently without any distractions.
