What is conscious sedation in dentistry?

Conscious sedation is a pill you take before treatment. It produces such ease that you may not recall your treatment. We also offer nitrous oxide, a less potent relaxant delivered through a nasal mask, and provide emergency dentistry to relieve pain and severe dental health issues quickly.

About Oral Conscious Sedation

Conscious sedation means you’ll need transportation, and we recommend you not make any serious life choices on the day of treatment. This medication has lingering side effects that can last several hours.

Your sedation dentist in High Point, NC, monitors you closely during treatment and takes a health history to ensure your candidacy.

Conscious sedation is ideal for patients with dental anxiety or those undergoing invasive dental treatments. It also works beautifully for patients who want a little extra relaxation, have an easy gag reflex, or spend a long time in the dental chair.

For patients who want to return to work after treatment, talk to us about nitrous oxide, which has no lingering side effects.
