CONTACT USWhat are my options for dental sedation?
Windmill Dental offers oral conscious sedation, which involves taking a prescribed sedative pill before the appointment. This method provides moderate sedation, leaving you awake but deeply relaxed and possibly drowsy. It is administered orally as a pill or liquid, helping to reduce anxiety while minimizing your memory of the procedure. This option is ideal for patients with moderate dental anxiety, longer or more complex procedures, or those who prefer to avoid needles.
Can I drive myself home after receiving dental sedation?
Oral conscious sedation temporarily impairs your reflexes, coordination, and decision-making abilities, making it unsafe to operate a vehicle post-treatment. The effects can linger for several hours, so patients are required to arrange for a responsible friend or family member to wait in our lobby and drive them home. No matter what dental treatment you receive, you should plan to spend the remainder of the day resting and recovering at home.
Is oral conscious sedation safe?
Oral conscious sedation is a safe and effective option for reducing dental anxiety. Our dental team will carefully evaluate your medical history, current medications, and overall health before recommending sedation. During your visit, we will closely monitor your vital signs to ensure your safety and comfort. Since patients are not being put under, oral conscious sedation comes with very few health risks and can be utilized by many patients for a secure and stress-free experience.
