Do you feel nervous or anxious about dental visits? At Stamford Green Dental, we understand that dental anxiety can prevent many patients from getting the care they need. Our Oral Conscious Sedation option helps you stay calm, relaxed, and comfortable throughout your treatment while still being awake and responsive.
Oral Conscious Sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before your dental procedure. This medication induces a deep sense of relaxation, allowing you to feel calm and at ease while we complete your treatment. You will remain awake but may feel drowsy and less aware of your surroundings, making it an excellent option for patients with dental fear, anxiety, or sensitivity.
✅ Reduces Dental Anxiety – Feel calm and comfortable during your appointment.
✅ Minimizes Gag Reflex & Sensitivity – Ideal for patients with strong gag reflexes or sensitive teeth.
✅ Allows Multiple Treatments in One Visit – Complete more dental work in fewer appointments.
✅ Drowsy Yet Conscious – You remain awake and able to respond but feel deeply relaxed.
✅ No Needles Required – Unlike IV sedation, this option involves just a simple pill.
This sedation option is ideal for patients who:
✔ Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety
✔ Have had past traumatic dental experiences
✔ Need extensive dental work in one visit
✔ Have a strong gag reflex or difficulty staying still during procedures
✔ Have sensitive teeth or difficulty getting numb with local anesthesia
1️⃣ Consultation & Evaluation – We review your medical history to ensure sedation is safe and suitable for you.
2️⃣ Sedative Prescription – You’ll receive a doctor-prescribed medication to take before your appointment.
3️⃣ Relax & Begin Treatment – You’ll feel calm and relaxed throughout your procedure while remaining awake.
4️⃣ Post-Treatment Recovery – Since the sedative effects linger, you’ll need someone to drive you home after your appointment.
