How Oral Conscious Sedation Works During Your Appointment

Oral conscious sedation is a safe and effective way to help patients relax during their dental visits at Sachs Family Dentistry. During this type of sedation, patients take a pill before their appointment. The pill helps to relax the patient and make them more comfortable, while still allowing them to remain conscious and responsive to directions. The amount of the medication prescribed is based on the patient’s age, weight, and medical history. After the pill is taken, a trained and experienced dental professional will monitor the patient throughout the entire procedure. This type of sedation can help the dentist complete the procedure more quickly and efficiently than with conventional techniques, and it also helps to reduce anxiety for the patient.

By taking a pill at the time of your appointment, patients are able to completely relax and receive the dental care they need free from anxiety, fear, or anticipated pain. As the name suggests, patients do not completely lose consciousness, but many do drift off into a peaceful sleep. In most cases, patients report not remembering any of their appointment, but they are still able to respond to questions and communicate with the dentist when prompted.
