These feelings can even make you delay dental care indefinitely, which can lead to more serious oral health issues.<\/p>\n<p>Here at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/\">Dental Expressions<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/contact.html\">Oklahoma City<\/a>, we want to make sure you get the dental treatment you need as quickly and effectively as possible. At the same time, your safety and comfort are a top priority for us, which is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/meet-dr-holman.html\">Dr. Holman<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/\">Dr. Frazier<\/a> are happy to be able to offer you <strong>oral conscious sedation<\/strong> as an option during your procedure. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/sedation-dentistry.html\">oral conscious sedation<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to feel relaxed and happy while our team does all the heavy lifting, providing you with beautiful, healthy teeth you\u2019ll be thrilled to share with the world.<\/p>\n<p>Is sedation right for you? Take a look at these characteristics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you respond poorly to anesthesia?<\/li>\n<li>Do you experience a lot of stress, anxiety, or discomfort when faced with that familiar big chair?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have a sensitive gag reflex?<\/li>\n<li>Do you need to undergo several lengthy procedures?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If one or more of these seem familiar, then <strong>oral conscious sedation<\/strong> may be the right choice for you. <strong>Oral conscious sedation<\/strong> is a small sedative that comes to you in pill form. You simply take it the night before your procedure and bring another with you. The next day, you will feel groggy, so you\u2019ll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment. Under <strong>oral conscious sedation<\/strong>, you\u2019ll still be able to respond to commands from Dr. Holman or Dr. Frazier, but you\u2019ll feel much more relaxed, so much so that many patients don\u2019t even remember much of their procedure once it\u2019s finished.<\/p>\n<p>While <strong>oral conscious sedation<\/strong> can be provided by dentists who\u2019ve had no training in the area, both <strong>Dr. Holman<\/strong> and<strong> Dr. Frazier <\/strong>have taken the time to attend a specialized training program for the treatment. That way, you know that you\u2019re receiving the most educated and safe service possible when you come to <strong>Dental Expressions<\/strong>. Let us put a smile on your face! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okdentalexpressions.com\/contact.html\">Call our office<\/a> today to schedule a consultation.\u00a0 We proudly serve patients from the <strong>OKC area, Moore, Norman, Midwest City, and surrounding communities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the mere thought of going to the dentist fills you with hesitation or anxiety, you\u2019re definitely not alone \u2013 nearly 75% of the population reports some level of fear when faced with the idea.
