Oral Conscious Sedation

If you are nervous about your upcoming dental appointment, don’t fret. Our dentist in Pasadena, MD, Dr. Gary S Barker provides oral conscious sedation as an option for patients who are fearful or nervous about an upcoming procedure. Don’t let your fear of dental treatment stop you from receiving the care you need.

Oral conscious sedation is a mild form of sedation used to help patients with their dental anxiety. An oral medication best suited for you will be prescribed and Dr. Gary S Barker will provide you with specific instructions to take the medication prior to the procedure. Someone must accompany you during your oral conscious sedation appointment. You will need a companion to drive you to and from the dental office. A local anesthetic is also necessary to numb the area of the mouth where treatment will be performed. Once it is time for your appointment, nitrous oxide will also be administered to reach the optimal level of relaxation, setting the stage for an anxiety-free and pain-free dental procedure.

Let our team correct your oral health problems using oral conscious sedation. Call our office at 410-647-6453 and we will be happy to help set up an appointment.
