For children and some adults, having to undergo a dental procedure or even a simple exam can trigger feelings of stress, up to and including full-blown panic. Whether out of fear of dentists, the unknown, pain, the tools used or some other source of anxiety, many people avoid regular visits to the dentist.<\/p>\n

What is conscious sedation?<\/h2>\n

Conscious sedation is a simple, effective procedure that allows the dentist to monitor patients\u2019 behavior and improve their level of comfort without general anesthesia so they can receive the treatment they need. It\u2019s a very useful, effective method.<\/p>\n

Conscious sedation promotes a sensation of relaxation, peacefulness and tranquility in the patient, who remains conscious during the treatment. In fact, the sedative that\u2019s used quickly induces a state akin to deep sleep in the patient\u2019s central nervous system. Thus, the patient will still be able to breathe unassisted and respond to the dentist\u2019s requests.<\/p>\n<\/div>
