Montz and Maher Dental Group can prescribe a conscious sedation medication to you based on your level of dental anxiety and your health history.

What is Conscious Sedation?

Conscious sedation means that you will be awake and able to respond to your dental team during treatment. You will have the ability to answer your dentist’s questions and follow his instructions, resulting in an effective and comfortable procedure.

When you ask “What is conscious sedation?” we also want you to know that, although you remain awake, you’re in an altered state of consciousness. You feel calm and relaxed, losing your perception of time as well as your dental anxiety.

When you leave your conscious sedation appointment, you’ll have few memories of what went on during the procedure. Your smile will be beautiful and functional, but you won’t remember any of the steps that may have made you feel nervous before.

If you choose oral conscious sedation, you will need an adult to drive you to and from your appointment.
