What is Conscious Oral Sedation?
Conscious oral sedation is a medication you take before arriving at our dental office. It’s a relaxing sedative that allows you to get the dental care you need without feeling anxious or afraid. Your procedure will be over before you know it. You’ll feel drowsy and may even doze off. But don’t worry. You’ll be alert enough to answer questions or express any needs you may have.
You’ll need to come into the office for an initial consultation before we can prescribe the oral conscious sedation. However, this appointment is nothing to worry over. We’ll have a conversation about your medical history and level of anxiety. Dr. Clark will determine the correct dosage, and you can pick it up on your way home.
The medication will decrease activity in the part of your brain that controls fear and anxiety. Because of the drowsiness the medicine provides, you’ll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
Don’t let dental anxiety keep you from getting the treatment you deserve. Call (940) 569-4901 and talk to our team about conscious oral sedation.
