A conscious sedative is a type of anti-anxiety medication administered intravenously before a dental procedure begins. It is often referred to as twilight sedation. In this method of sedation, the patient is not put to sleep. Rather, the sedative helps the patient to relax and feel at ease during the procedure. In most cases, the patient may be able to respond to the dentist’s questions while under sedation.

A major reason why this method of sedation is preferred by many patients is that it helps those who are exceptionally nervous about their treatment or the procedure being performed. You don’t have to avoid the dental office because you are scared of the pain or anxious about being put to sleep. Conscious sedation ensures worry-free and comfortable care.
Many patients are unable to remain still during a procedure. Kids and other patients who cannot sit still for long will benefit from this procedure. The dentist can safely proceed with dental treatment when the patient has been sedated.
When it comes to determining the right type of sedation that would be ideal for you, we can help. Our experts will talk you through all the options you have and may recommend conscious sedation based on the type of procedure to be performed, your anxiety level, and pain tolerance.
For comfortable care, you can count on your dentist here at Love to Smile.
