There are numerous misconceptions about conscious sedation. Let Coleman Dental set the record straight about an important dental service in the Houston area.
Myth #1: With Sedation Dentistry, You Are Completely Unconscious
Some anxious dental patients are not only afraid of receiving treatment; they also fear the thought of not being in control. At Coleman Dental, we offer different levels of sedation, but none of the sedation options put you completely to sleep. With oral sedation you are relaxed but not totally knocked out. When we need to ask a dental sedation patient a question during the procedure, the patient is able to hear, understand, and respond.
Myth #2: Dental Sedation Should Only Be Used For Extensive Dental Treatment
Anxiety-free dentistry is completely safe. Many anxious oral conscious sedation patients request sedation for routine exams and procedures.
Myth #3: Most Dental Insurance Companies Do Not Cover Sleep Dentistry
Some Texas dental insurers do cover sedation. Check with your insurer for details about your Texas dental insurance benefits.
Myth #4: Sleep Dentistry Is Still Experimental
Dentists have been safely providing sedation for many years. Coleman Dental meets all the requirements advised by the American Dental Association. Millions of Americans and thousands of anxious dental patients have safely received sedation for dental treatment.
Dental visits can be extremely taxing and for some Houston residents, the fear and anxiety associated with a trip to the dentist prevents them from getting the care they need. At Coleman Dental we provide the best oral sedation dentistry available. We will accommodate your needs with minimal, moderate, or deep sedation.
