The Oral Conscious Sedation Dentist (video)

February 15, 2010 By Julie Frey 2 Comments

The sedation dentist has many tools to calm patients with dental anxiety, but one of the methods most commonly used is oral conscious sedation.

In our survey, two-thirds of dentists reported that their practices offer sedation dentistry with OCS.

“It is an excellent tool for the patient with dental fear who has not been to the dentist in years," offered one sedation dentist. "It is a major part of my practice."

“The regulations are overly onerous," said a pediatric dentist. "More rules and regulations won’t prevent irresponsible behavior–it will only prevent many competent practitioners from utilizing this modality."

“I have a permit to do IV sedation in addition to oral sedation, which does not work for at least 50% of patients," said another dentist.
