What is oral conscious sedation?

Dr. Richard Weimar describes oral conscious sedation as a form of unique sedation dentistry that uses oral medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. The sedative medications used are typically short-acting benzodiazepines, which allow patients to remain conscious but relaxed throughout the treatment. The patient can still respond to questions or instructions from the dentist but may not remember much about the procedure afterward. This allows even the most anxious of patients to get necessary dental work completed under the care and attention of our team at Weimar Family and Implant Dentistry.
