Charlottesville area dentist explains oral conscious sedation
Patients of all ages can be anxious about visiting the dentist. Dr. Hart and her Charlottesville area team understand patient concerns, and offer sedative methods that can help. Oral conscious sedation is popular with individuals who suffer from dental anxiety.
Oral conscious sedation or pre-sedation is a prescription medication taken by mouth about an hour before their visit. Patients must also arrange a ride to and from the dentist’s office. As a patient, you’ll be coherent and able to ask and answer questions. You’ll also be completely relaxed and at ease. After Dr. Hart completes the procedure, you’ll be transported back home to rest. During this time, the medication wears off. When you wake up, you’ll have little to no recollection of the visit. This offers a wonderful way to get extremely nervous patients into the dentist to restore the smiles.
Oral conscious sedation can be used for everything from a simple cleaning to an extensive smile makeover. Dr. Hart will discuss the best sedative method for you during a consultation at the Virginia Biological Dentistry office. Adult patients can use this method to put themselves at ease and become more comfortable with visiting the dentist’s chair, no matter their fears. In order to obtain this medication, a consultation with Dr. Hart is a must. The prescription is filled and provided, so the medication can be used day-of treatment.
Visitors to Virginia Biological Dentistry in the Charlottesville area are happy to learn oral conscious sedation is readily available. Dr. Hart also provides nitrous oxide sedation or laughing gas for those who can benefit from it. Additionally, she offers an oral cancer screening during every patient’s first visit, and works hard to ensure patients enjoy healthy, beautiful smiles for life!
