Dentistry does not have to be painful or scary.  Oral sedation dentistry, relaxation dentistry, and anxiety-free dentistry describe a way for you to get the care you want while you remain comfortable.  Most fears develop in childhood.  As a result you may avoid receiving care and your dental health deteriorates. You may hear sedation dentistry referred to as “comfortable,” “anxiety free dentistry” or “relaxation” dentistry, the term describes the feeling most patients experienced during their sedation dentistry appointments.  Dr. Fealy and his staff are trained in sedation dentistry.  The medications Dr. Fealy uses are safe and have been used for decades.
What is conscious sedation?

You are sedated, in other words, you are conscious, you breathe, swallow, and are in control.  However, all your anxieties about dental care are removed.  As a matter of fact, most people remember very little about their visit except that all their dental work was completed while they were sedated.  Medications are given via taking a small pill to create a state of deep relaxation and amnesia.  You are free of anxiety.

Who benefits from dental conscious sedation?

• Anyone who has fears and anxiety about dental treatment of any kind

• Anyone who has put off dental care for years because of anxiety

• Anyone who wants to have all their care prepared in one day

• Anyone who wants to be treated in a caring and safe environment

There are several different sedation methods and Dr. Fealy will help you decide which one is best for your needs.  If you want to learn more about conscious sedation you can call Dr. Fealy’s office at 661-253-0812 or visit www.fealydentistry.com .
