Why does Dr. Lichorwic use oral sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry has calmed the apprehensive feeling of thousands of dental patients over the years. There are many different types of sedation dentistry, but the most commonly utilized dental sedation techniques are oral, inhalation, and intravenous sedation. Dr. Lichorwic only uses oral sedation dentistry, which involves administering a drug orally approximately one hour prior to the appointment. With oral sedation, the patient experiences a very deep state of relaxation, possibly even falling asleep, and retains very little to no memory of the procedure. The patient remains able to breath on his own, move his or her body, and respond to questions. Oral sedation dentistry is advantageous compared to its counterparts because it is easily administered, safe and easy to monitor, and extremely effective for most people.
