What is Oral Conscious Sedation?
Oral conscious sedation is a safe, effective method of mild sedation dentistry. The sedative is taken in pill form, prior to your dental appointment. The medication dosage and timing will be carefully prescribed by our dentist to help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation without putting you to sleep.
Oral conscious sedation helps to calm your nerves and reduce feelings of fear and anxiety when undergoing dental procedures. Our patients often experience a lowered perception of pain and heightened sense relaxation and well-being, making their treatment experience at Ellinwood Dental Care more comfortable overall.
Throughout your procedure, you'll likely feel drowsy, but remain awake and able to communicate with Dr. Chase as needed. The effects of the medication typically wear off quickly, allowing you return to your normal activities after your visit.
Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?
Oral conscious sedation is widely considered to be safe. Our Fort Wayne dentist is highly experienced and qualified in the administration of oral conscious sedation, and will always carefully assess your medical history before determining if sedation dentistry is right for you.
