Nearly 50% of the population feels nervous or uncomfortable about going to the dentist or having dental procedures done. Dr. Richard Schoengarth has dedicated himself to making patients comfortable and at ease during dental exams and procedures. It is our belief that with Conscious Oral Sedation Dentistry we can treat patients in need of dental care but who are too afraid to seek the care they need.
In an open and caring atmosphere patients can be provided pain free dental
care knowing
they are not being judged or looked down upon because of their anxiety over
dentistry. We strive to excel at the technical aspects of dentistry
but just as important we strive to care for the patient’s emotional needs.
There will be times that just getting through the door for a consultation
will be a small victory for some of our patients. We know the importance
of that first step and we are committed to providing compassion and starting
a relationship built on trust. We take your fear seriously and are dedicated
to providing a dental experience that will both improve your dental health
and lessen your dental fears.
- With oral sedation we can often complete all of your dentistry needs in one visit
- Take a pill one hour before your appointment and you can relax or sleep through your appointment
- Oral sedation is very safe
How You May Feel
Most patients remember nothing about their treatment. A few will remember a
little, usually at the end of the appointment when we are getting them ready
to go home. You will need someone to bring you to our office on the day of your
sedation appointment and you MUST have someone take you home afterwards.
Safety of Sedation
The reason that we use oral sedation is because of its safety. We use monitoring
equipment to monitor your pulse and blood pressure. You’ll be done before you
know it, completely unaware of the time passing, totally relaxed.
