Oral Sedation

With oral sedation, Dr. Deb and Dr. Rob change the way phobic patients feel about dental care.  Oral sedation is the perfect alternative for people who have dental fear, trouble with anesthesia, or sensitive gag reflexes.  In addition, oral sedation eliminates the fatigue that can result from extended or multiple dental visits.

On the day of your appointment, you will achieve total relaxation simply by taking the oral medication Dr. Deb and Dr. Rob prescribe.  You will need a friend to drive you to and from our Bethesda dental office, because the medication will make you drowsy and unable to drive.  After you arrive, we will make sure you are comfortably seated in the dental chair and cover you with a thick, warm blanket.  A member of our highly skilled team will monitor your vital signs throughout treatment.  When you are completely relaxed and ready for care, Dr. Deb and Dr. Rob will provide you with an excellent dental experience.

After your treatment is complete, your friend will take you home to relax for the rest of the day.  You will have little or no memory of your treatment.  The effects of oral sedation will subside the following day, and you can go about your business as usual, but with a completely restored smile.

If you’re ready to experience total comfort and achieve optimal oral health and beauty, call Bethesda Sedation Dentistry or schedule an appointment online.  We’d be happy to explain more about oral sedation. Dr. Deb Klotz and Dr. Rob Schlossberg and our dream team proudly serve residents of Bethesda, Potomac, Rockville, Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and beyond.
