What is sedation?
- Sedation dentistry is often referred to as “anxiety free dentistry” or “sleep dentistry” although the patient never loses consciousness.
- Oral Conscious Sedation is a means for providing dentistry in a safe, comfortable, low stress environment using medications that are taken by mouth.
- Sedation dentistry can be used to help patients who have:
- Dental phobias
- Severe gag reflexes
- Difficulty freezing
- Anxiety about needles
- Anxiety about the sounds of dental treatment
- Sedation dentistry can also make dental treatment easier:
- For long dental appointments
- For complicated dental treatment
- For surgical procedures
- At On Track Dental we offer Oral Conscious Sedation for patients 12 years and older.
