Is the purpose of IV conscious sedation mainly to make it less painful for the paitent, by having to give less freezing? If I were to grin and bear it for a couple of days is it basically the same thing as far as Dr Morales is concerned? I'm looking for ways to cut down on costs, without hitch-hiking from Canada lol- Re: Conscious Sedation Aharleygyrl

You can forego the conscious sedation, but I don't recommend it. It makes it easier on the patient and the dr. Your immune system recovers faster. the dr works faster. They don't have to give you as many shots (about 1/3 of what they normally give because the brain reacts differently to pain under sedation). If you don't want it, they need to break up most patient's appts into 2 or 3 days, as the jaw does not like to stay open more than 2 to 3 hours.
Under sedation, the jaw does not get sore or stiff. Patients who do sedation when they were wondering about it, always say they are so glad they decided to. Also, the nature of the sedation affects the short term memory temporarily, so the patient will often be done with the appt and not remember even starting the work, or remember only a few minutes of it. It is up to the patient if they want it or not. About 95% of people with major work opt for it.

You introduced me to your Dr. through your web site and very helpful emails in December 2004. I have been to the office four times and and the results have been good. The first time I had the conscious sedation and some teeth pulled. Now I will be going again in a couple of weeks.
My question is about the conscious sedation. The first time I went my blood O2 was 98 percent before starting, but the woman gave me oxygen anyway and then I had a severe headache all that night. Could you let me know if it is okay to have the conscious sedation without the O2 since the oxygen in my blood is already high.
Also is it possible to have the full denture made from Valplast, instead of the plastic material.
Thank you very much.- Re: Conscious Sedation, O2 and Valpl... Aharleygyrl

i know nothing about oxygen levels and such; you'll have to discuss it with the anesthesiologist. yes, the dentures can be made of valplast, but the fit is harder to get right, and if the fit is not correct, they cannot be adjusted, have to do them all over again. it is up to you, but it could be more difficult to get them to fit correctly than acrylic. i'm glad all has went well for you.TTorrie

Well I did check with the anesthesiologist my first time there December 2004 and the only time with my having the conscious sedation. I had requested to have no oxygen as my O2 levels were already at 98 percent normally and without anything added. However the anesthesiologist insisted to give the O2 to me anyway.
This is why I am asking this time in advance, if it is possible to not have the oxygen next time.
Thanks for all your help Torrie.
I have been to the office four times. He is very gentle and amazing. The third time I was there he did a couple of fillings and one of them with no anesthetic. He was so gentle I didn't even feel the shots, and then didn't feel the filling he did with no shot. I used to go through the roof every time at dentists in the states. I have seen Edgar twice and last time with some shots and two teeth being pulled. He was careful and I didn't feel the shots, then he pulled the teeth and I was awake the whole time. Going to the dentist can be very scary. I appreciate the Doctors for being such great dentists, being gentle and taking their time, and everyone associated with the office being so helpful.- Re: Conscious Sedation vs O2 Aharleygyrl
