231.893.2915 116 W. Colby Street, Suite 1 Whitehall, MI 49461 Relaxation Dentistry... With White Lake Family Dentistry Would you like to know our practices’ secret? The answer is very simple. It is Relaxation Dentistry... It is not scary or painful to go to a dentist. What does it mean by Conscious Sedation? Conscious sedation refers to an altered level of consciousness, which is produced by administrating particular medications. What makes it different from other sedatives is that the patient is conscious and is able to respond to verbal commands and physical stimulation, and is also able to maintain an unassisted airway. Sedation Dentistry, also referred to as Relaxation Dentistry, refers to the way, how in a dental practice, the anxiety and pain during the dental appointments, is managed. In contrast to general anesthesia, where the patients become completely unconscious and asleep, and are unable to respond to any physical stimulation, patients under Relaxation Dentistry or Conscious Sedation are very much able to respond to verbal commands and can breathe without any additional assistance. The objective of general anesthesia is to make patient asleep, however, in the field of dentistry, it is Conscious Sedation which is more frequently used.  The patient, although sedated and comfortable, is still awake. At White Lake Family Dentistry, we use Conscious Sedation, and you are not made unconscious, though sometimes it might seem like that you did. The reason to feel so is that sedation is so peaceful and relaxing that you would not even realize how the time passed. Our services are most professional and high quality, but yet within your means.
