What is Conscious Sedation Dentistry?
It is important to know that a visit to the dentist can be a positive experience, even when treatment is necessary. Millions of Americans, nearly 30%, are afraid of the dentist. They avoid dental care at all costs, even when they are in pain or discomfort. But it no longer has to be that way. Modern dentistry offers safe, effective, and comfortable treatments to anxious and fearful patients.
People who experience sedation dentistry are happy they finally found a place to feel safe and a team they can trust.
Dental Oral Sedation provides many advantages to our patients: the patient is more comfortable, (often the patient will fall asleep and some degree of amnesia is common); we are able to perform more dentistry in a single visit instead of requiring the patient to return again and again; and patients feel little to no post-operative discomfort, regardless of the procedure.
What is conscious sedation?
You are sedated... in other words, you are conscious, you breathe, swallow, and are in control. However, all your anxieties about dental care are removed. As a matter of fact, most people remember very little about their visit except that all their dental work was completed while they were sedated. There are several different sedation methods and Dr. Pascarella will help you decide which one is best for your needs.
