At Cen-Tex Dental, we understand that dental visits can cause anxiety for some patients. To help you feel calm and relaxed during your appointment, we offer oral conscious sedation in Killeen, Texas. Dr. Sean McAnarney and our compassionate team are here to provide a stress-free, comfortable experience while ensuring you receive the care you need.
What Is Oral Conscious Sedation?
Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed sedative in pill form before your dental appointment. The medication helps you feel deeply relaxed while remaining awake and able to respond to instructions. This safe and effective option is ideal for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or fear
- Have difficulty sitting still for extended periods
- Require multiple treatments in a single visit
- Have a sensitive gag reflex
What to Expect With Oral Sedation
- Pre-Visit Preparation: You will take the prescribed sedative shortly before your appointment.
- During Your Visit: You will feel calm and drowsy but remain conscious throughout your treatment.
- Post-Treatment Care: Because the sedative can linger, you will need someone to drive you home after your appointment.
Benefits of Oral Conscious Sedation
- Reduces anxiety and fear during treatment
- Allows for a more relaxed and stress-free experience
- Makes longer procedures feel shorter and more manageable
- Safe and effective for patients of all ages
At Cen-Tex Dental, your comfort is our priority. Dr. Sean McAnarney will carefully evaluate your needs and medical history to ensure oral conscious sedation is a safe and effective option for you.
