With nearly one-third of the population fearful of going to the dentist, the dental profession has made it a priority to find a way to allay those fears. Dental conscious sedation, also known as “dream” dentistry, has helped thousands of fearful dental patients get the dental treatment they have put off for years, if not decades.

For most patients, the technique involves taking a pill shortly before arriving to the dental office, although some patients receive their sedation in the dental office under carefully monitored conditions. The technique, known as oral conscious sedation, keeps patients in a “semi”-conscious state, allowing them to answer questions and take commands during treatment, but being so relaxed that they feel no pain, no discomfort, have no anxiety, and do not notice the smells, tastes, or noises they usually don’t like.

Sedation dentistry can last up to six hours, allowing your dentist to complete many complex procedures, including treatment of gum disease, repair of cracks, chips, cavities, discoloration, and other problems, as well as cosmetic procedures like crowns and veneers. With sedation dentistry, there’s no reason for you to be afraid of going to the dentist any more.

When treatment is over, the technique’s retrograde amnesiac effect causes patients to forget just about everything that occurred during treatment. What this means is that patients have no recollection of an experience that is normally full of anxiety for them. Instead they just look in the mirror and see their brand, new smile
