DR. ROBERT NOLAN OFFERS SEDATION FOR FEARFUL PATIENTS You are not along- over 100 million Americans experience some form of fear or anxiety about going to the dentist. “Sedation Dentistry” can help.There are several types of sedation. There is Oral Conscious Sedationor OCS. This utilizes oral sedative medication to significantly reduce your fears and discomforts in the dentalsetting. OCS does not require needles to administer and is less expensivethan IV sedation. It is effective for mild anxiety. Intravenous Sedation or IVSedation is extremely effective for moderate to severe anxiety. During IVsedation, an anti-anxiety drug is administered into the bloodstream to achieve a state of “deep conscious sedation.” Although you will not actually be asleep, you will enjoy a heightened state of relaxation, and probably will not remember much about the procedure afterwards. Your appointment will be a dream and hours in the chair will feel like minutes.You will be dozing in and out of sleep. Benefits of IV Sedation: It is quick acting and extremely effective for moderate to severe anxiety. The level of sedation can be adjusted during the procedure so that you remain comfortable at all times. In many cases, you get all of your dental work done at one time. Throughout the procedure, your breathing, heart rate, oxygen content of the blood and blood pressure will be closely monitored. Patients generally recover quickly from IV sedation, although they may feel slightly groggy immediately afterward. Whether you are anxious about going to the dentist or just to busy for multiple visits, IV sedation can be a great solution to getting all your dental work done in one or two visits,comfortably and stress-free.
