Dr. Sean Bardsley can help patients overcome dental fear, anxiety, and stress with oral conscious sedation. His experience treating fearful and medically compromised patients in his AEGD residency, and his hospital training have helped Dr. Bardsley gain a unique understanding of dental anxiety and how to clinically treat the condition. He earned oral conscious sedation certification through the renowned Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation, known as DOCS.
Oral conscious sedation is a combination of an anti-anxiety sedative with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to produce a state of physical and mental relaxation. Simply take the prescribed pill about an hour before your dental visit. After you arrive at our office, we'll make you comfortable in a treatment room. To enhance the oral sedative's effects, Dr. Bardsley will administer a regulated amount of nitrous oxide. You'll be able to respond to verbal stimulus, but most patients do not remember the dental visit the following day.
Because oral conscious sedation does not wear off immediately, like nitrous oxide alone will, you must have a driver to escort you home after your dental work is complete. Plan to rest the remainder of the day and return to normal activities the following day.
Oral conscious sedation is perfect for qualified patients who experience dental anxiety, need many hours of dental work performed in one visit, or for those who will undergo lengthy procedures. To learn more about oral conscious sedation, call Dr. Bardsley at our San Mateo dental office. You may also want to visit DOCS online.
