The Advantages Of Oral Sedation Dentistry
If dental appointments make you anxious or uncomfortable, Dr. Casigilia can prescribe an oral sedative to help you feel more at ease during your visit. Oral sedation is generally safe and comfortable for most patients.
Some of the advantages of oral sedation dentistry:
- It's easy to take. Dr. Casigilia will prescribe a pill to help you stay calm. All you have to do is take it an hour or so before your appointment and you'll feel relaxed by the time you arrive at our Salem dental office for your appointment. You cannot drive yourself to your appointment after taking an oral sedative. Please be sure to arrange transportation to and from our office!
- There are no needles. Oral sedation is completely painless and needle-free!
- It's safe. Every oral sedative Dr. Casiglia prescribes is regulated by the FDA and is safe for adults to use. Our staff will review your medical history with you before prescribing oral sedation to ensure you don't experience negative side effects.
- You won't be unconscious. You may feel drowsy after taking oral sedation, but you'll still be awake and responsive during your dental appointment.
Is Oral Sedation Dentistry The Best Choice For You?
Oral sedation dentistry can be ideal for:
- Easing anxiety you may feel before or during a dental appointment
- Allowing Dr. Casiglia to complete complex or extensive procedures in a single visit
- Patients with special needs
