Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral sedation dentistry is often referred to as “comfortable”, “anxiety free dentistry,” or “relaxation”. These terms describe the feelings most patients experience during their sedation dentistry appointments. The use of sedative medications can help make you more comfortable so the dentist and his team can work more effectively, accomplishing more in less time with great quality. The term “sleep dentistry” is inappropriate. Sedation patients should always be able to verbally and physically respond to cues and questions from the doctor or team.
Silver Creek Dentistry has a variety of protocols available to customize to each patient’s physiological and pharmacological needs. A number of sedation dentistry drugs that can be taken by mouth have been developed especially for these purposes, subjected to rigorous research and testing, are safe and have been used for decades. Some of these can even help you remember little of the visit, preventing the sounds and smells from lingering in your thoughts. Other medications sometimes used in sedation protocols include antihistamines and insomnia medications which aid in creating a relaxing and calm experience.
Our staff will answer any questions you have and ask you some simple questions to help ensure you get the care you and want and deserve.
