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.
