Calm Your Dental Anxiety with Gentle Oral Sedation in Brisbane
At Sandgate Bayside Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist can cause significant anxiety and fear for many patients. Our experienced team offers safe and effective oral sedation dentistry in Brisbane, ensuring you comfortably receive the dental care you deserve in a stress-free and comfortable environment.
Understanding Oral Sedation Dentistry
Oral sedation dentistry involves taking prescribed medication orally before your dental procedure. This approach allows you to remain awake yet profoundly relaxed, feeling calm and stress-free during treatment, and is commonly known as conscious sedation or twilight sedation.
Oral Sedation vs IV Sedation – What’s the Difference?
Oral sedation is administered through pills taken orally, providing a gradual onset of relaxation and suitable for mild anxiety. IV sedation, on the other hand, is delivered intravenously, offering quicker, deeper sedation suitable for more intensive dental procedures. Oral sedation is an ideal choice for patients seeking moderate sedation without needles or deeper sedation methods.
