Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation is the only dental sedation method we use, as it’s incredibly safe, effective, and great for most adults. Before your visit, simply take a single pill to experience a calming wave of relief by the time you arrive at our office. Our team will work quickly to maintain and improve the health of your smile, allowing your visit to breeze by.
What is Oral Conscious Sedation?
Oral conscious sedation is administered in the form of a pill that Dr. Jordan will prescribe you before your visit with us. Typically, the medication is in the diazepam family, like Valium, which helps calm the brain and nerves.
How Does Oral Conscious Sedation Work?
Before providing you with the prescription, Dr. Jordan will discuss your medical history with you, any medications you’re currently taking, and allergies. Based on this, we can confirm whether you would be a candidate for oral conscious sedation in Carrollton. About an hour before your appointment, you will need to take the prescribed medication and have a trusted friend or family member drive you to (and from) our office. By the time you arrive, you’ll already feel the effects kick-in.
Are You a Good Candidate for Oral Conscious Sedation?
We typically recommend oral conscious sedation for patients who experience the following:
- Increased dental sensitivity that makes treatments and cleanings uncomfortable or anxiety-inducing.
- Mild or moderate dental anxiety or fear of visiting the dentist.
- A sensitive gag reflex.
- Overstimulation due to the sights, sounds, and smells of the dental office.
- The need for a long or extensive procedure, which would make it difficult to sit still in the treatment chair.
