Millions of patients in the United States report postponing dental visits due to fear, and many more experience anxiety during their appointment. At San Lorenzo Family Dental, we want every patient to receive the quality dental care they need free from stress or fear. That\u2019s why we provide a variety of sedation dentistry methods so you can relax and get the dental treatment you need to have a rockin\u2019 smile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Oral Conscious Sedation<\/h4>\n<p>Oral conscious sedation is a great choice for patients who have severe dental anxiety because the prescribed medication is taken before leaving home. By the time a patient arrives at the dental office, escorted by a friend or family member, he will already feel relaxed. During the procedure, patients typically remain awake, but describe the experience as being \u201cdreamlike.\u201d The effects of oral conscious sedation can take several hours to dissipate. Patients will need to be driven to and from the appointment, and shouldn\u2019t plan to resume activities until the following day. Patients prefer oral conscious sedation because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The sedation takes effect before they leave home.<\/li>\n<li>The sedative is stronger than nitrous sedation causing the patient to enter a semi-conscious state.<\/li>\n<li>Oral sedatives have an amnesiac effect which means most patients report not remembering their procedure.<\/li>\n<li>Patients who need multiple or complex dental procedures can save time and money by scheduling these treatments on the same day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"featured_media":269,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-168","service","type-service","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
