The Benefits of Oral Conscious Sedation

The field of dentistry is constantly changing. Advancements in techniques and new technology allow us to provide better care to patients and improve oral health. Dental anesthesia is one area that has genuinely advanced with modern dentistry. Sedation dentistry allows dental providers to address anxiety and fear of the dentist and improve their oral health. At The International Center for Dental Excellence, we’re happy to offer our patients in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the many benefits of oral conscious sedation dentistry.

Improved Oral Health

Dental anxiety is a common condition that causes many patients to avoid the dentist’s office. The absence of regular dental cleanings and exams can put patients’ oral and total health at risk. Lack of dental care can turn a minor dental problem into a much larger one in time. 

Oral conscious sedation, also sometimes called sleep dentistry, allows us to address the feelings of fear and anxiety by making patients feel comfortable and relaxed in our office. Reestablishing regular dental care improves oral health and puts patients in a position to maintain it moving forward.

Fewer Visits

Sedation dentistry isn’t just for patients who are afraid or have anxiety. We often use oral conscious sedation for patients who face multiple procedures because it increases the amount of dental work we can perform in one visit. Sedation dentistry is beneficial for patients who are undergoing smile makeovers. 

Improved Experience/Recovery

We recommend sedation dentistry for patients who have a sensitive gag reflex. Sedation can minimize this reaction by keeping the muscles relaxed. An added benefit of muscle relaxation is improved recovery and minimal soreness following the procedure.

For patients wondering if sedation dentistry is right for them, you can trust that it has been tested and proven safe and effective.
