Oral Conscious Sedation

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Oral Conscious Sedation Some people experience severe anxiety when undergoing dental treatment. With oral conscious sedation, it is possible to relax during dental procedures instead of being tense and fearful. Sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, conscious sedation and anxiety-free dentistry are all terms used to describe this type of treatment. In addition to alleviating anxiety, sedation dentistry can help patients with a variety of conditions.

You may want to consider dental sedation if you have any of the following issues:

  • Strong gag reflex
  • Fear of needles
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment
  • Difficulty getting numb
  • A history of negative dental experiences
  • Trouble controlling body movement due to Parkinson’s disease, Cerebral Palsy or related condition
  • Need extensive dental treatment requiring lengthy dental visits

If you have avoided dental treatment due to any of these factors, give us a call. We can give you more information about sedation options and help you determine which one is right for you. At San Mateo Center for Cosmetic Dentistry we do all we can to make your visit as comfortable as possible. We look forward to discussing your oral health and dental goals.
