Conscious Sedation Baltimore

Dental anxiety is a common problem for patients who have had less-than-favorable experiences in the dental office. Fortunately, rather than avoiding regular dental visits, these patients can now find relief through safe oral sedation. Oral sedation is a safe way to sedate a patient without the need of an anesthesiologist. This method of sedation is simply accomplished by the patient taking oral medication prior to or upon arrival to his or her appointment. During the office visit, the patient's vital signs are monitored to assure he or she is safely and comfortably sedated through dental treatment. Pillows and warm blankets are common protocol while you relax throughout your dental visit.

It is a well known fact that many people are often afraid to tell anyone about their fear, so they feel isolated. If the patient fears one visit to the dentist, imagine the frustration when he or she learns that because they have not attended to dental health, they may need numerous appointments over many months to complete the care. This is always received as discouraging news and often becomes the deciding factor in NOT having needed dentistry done.

Our anxious guests are not the only candidates for safe oral sedation. Those who have bad gag responses find they are tremendously helped as well. Multiple procedures can be scheduled for a single appointment so that your visits can be kept to a minimum, and your results made even more dramatic. Sedation dentistry offers those with dental anxiety or bad gag response the opportunity to maintain the health of their teeth and gums through a pleasant dental experience.

Our patients can take additional comfort in knowing that Dr's Murray, Todd and Danny are the first to pass certifcation to administer oral sedation in the state of Maryland.
