Oral Conscious Sedation Dentists In Idaho Falls
Posted on April 11, 2012 by idaho_dentist in Pediatric Dentist Services
“ It is important for the dentist to assess your child’s anxiety levels and their ability to cooperate in the procedure, to determine which medication to best use. Children often have a greater anxiety level than adults. This is a decision to be discussed with your dentist.
Oral conscious sedation makes patients feel calm and relaxed during dental procedures. Oral conscious sedation often requires the use of oral medications beyond nitrous oxide gas.During oral sedation your child will be conscious and able to follow simple instructions given by the dentist. Your child will be sleepy due to the oral sedation. Some medications have side effects that may cause some nausea and vomiting in rare cases. It is important that an adult be available at the end of the procedure until the medication effects have completely worn off.Prior to a visit where oral sedation is to be used with your child talk to the dentist about eating and drinking before the procedure. Be sure to let your dentist know if your child is on any medications so that he can choose an appropriate sedation medication.
