Do you experience fear or anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist? You are not alone! For many patients, dental anxiety or fear can be a barrier to receiving the dental care they need. At Strathcona Dental Clinic, we pride ourselves on our culture of care for all of our patients, doing everything we can to provide a comfortable, anxiety-free experience for every patient. As the longest-standing dental practice in the area, and one of the most technologically advanced, you can trust our dentists and team provide the comfortable, stress-free care you deserve!
At Strathcona Dental Clinic, we offer oral conscious sedation to help our patients receive dental care with ease.
What is Oral Conscious Sedation?
Oral conscious sedation is administered in pill form, usually about an hour before your visit to our South Edmonton dental office. The effects of oral conscious sedation typically last two to five hours and will help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and sleepy yet aware of your surroundings and able to respond to the dentist during your procedure. Even still, most patients experience temporary memory loss, as if they had slept through the treatment. Our patients feel no anxiety while sedated.
As the sedation takes effect, you can expect to slowly start to feel sleepy and become fully relaxed within about 30 minutes. Your Strathcona dental team will monitor your blood pressure and oxygen levels and check on you to ensure you are comfortable as the medication takes effect. Once you are fully sedated, the dentist will administer the local anesthetic if required and begin your dental work. Throughout your procedure, you will have one of our dedicated dental team members keeping an eye on you and monitoring all your vital signs to be sure you are comfortable and doing well.
