Concious Sedation

Offering adult Dental Oral Sedation provides many advantages to caring dentists: treating a more comfortable patient; performing more dentistry in a single visit instead of requiring the patient to return again and again; bigger restorative cases from patients who were previously reluctant due to anxiety; and patients who feel little to no post-operative discomfort, regardless of the procedure – resulting in more referrals.

Dental practices offering sedation dentistry find a place to express compassion, indulge their expansive technical skills and reap the benefits of the investment made in equipment and training (from sedation to lasers to the latest diagnostics).

Patients experiencing sedation are happy, referring, paying patients[21,27] that finally have found a place to feel safe and someone (the whole team) they can trust.

A recent article in Dental Tribune stated “In a landmark report on the nation’s oral health, the U.S. Surgeon General in May 2000 called upon the dental community to do more to make quality care available to the millions of Americans who go without regular treatments.”

“One group of dedicated professionals – oral sedation dentists -- took up the Surgeon General’s call and set about reinventing their practices to serve the largest segment of so-called “dental avoiders” – those patients who have not visited a dentist in five, ten, sometimes even twenty years,” continued the Tribune. Everyday patients who have long since given up hope are saying “my dentist changed my life. I can’t stop smiling.” And there are still more than 94 million North Americans who are waiting for a dentist in their area to bring sedation to them.
