What is oral sedation?
Anxiolysis is a mild form of sedation dentistry and is often used for patients with mild anxiety or those with longer procedures or more complex situations. Usually administered orally, with anxiolysis
sedation, you remain awake or very sleepy throughout the entire procedure and are able to breathe on your own, but you will feel a great sense of relaxation. Patients typically recover from anxiolysis sedation within a few hours after the procedure is complete. Dr. Rea Corley is one of the few general dentists in the San Diego area to offer this type on dentistry and has been using it successfully for more than ten years.
Understanding how sedation dentistry helps to relieve anxiety and discomfort can be very useful. Please contact our practice to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rea Corley, learn more about sedation dentistry, and find out if sedation dentistry is right for you.
