Oral Sedation In New Lenox, IL
We highly recommend oral conscious sedation for patients who experience moderate levels of dental anxiety. This method of sedation is both efficient and convenient. Unlike other forms of sedation that require a mask or intravenous administration, oral conscious sedation involves taking a pill, typically from the valium family, to induce a greater sense of calm. While you may fall asleep during your appointment, you will remain conscious throughout and can be easily awakened with a gentle tap on the shoulder.
How does oral conscious dental sedation function?
One of the benefits of oral conscious sedation is its ease and predictability. Simply take a pill an hour before your treatment and by the time you arrive for your appointment, you will feel completely comfortable and relaxed. During the treatment, you may feel sleepy, calm, and happy. It is normal to not remember what happened during your dental visit, which is preferred by many anxious patients. After your appointment, the effects of the medication will wear off. However, we recommend having a friend or family member accompany you to and from our dental office for your safety and to provide reassurance if you feel fearful about your visit.
The Advantages of Oral Conscious Dental Sedation
We provide oral conscious sedation as an additional option to our patients, as it offers numerous benefits for their enjoyment, such as:
- Comfort: The pill we use for sedation offers ultimate simplicity and comfort, eliminating the need for irritating masks or needles.
- Convenience: By taking the oral conscious sedation before your appointment, you can start feeling relaxed even before your treatment begins. This is especially convenient for patients with moderate to severe anxiety.
- Effectiveness: Oral conscious sedation keeps you happy and relaxed, making a procedure that may take hours feel like it only lasts minutes.
- Relief: For those who experience excessive fear and anxiety, oral conscious sedation is a valuable tool that allows you to receive the high-quality dentistry you deserve.
