Press Release Summary: Conscious Oral Sedation Dentistry is a revolutionary new way
to help those who suffer from dental phobia undergo their needed treatment. Using no
IVs, Dr. Mike Hopkins is treating many individuals who have been afraid to visit the
dentist for many years. This procedure is being met with great success and is
allowing fearful patients to forget the sights, sounds, sensations and smells of
their dental appointments. Additionally, more work can be accomplished in one
sedation appointment alone than in four regular dental appointments.
Press Release Body: Dunedin, Florida. June 16, 2008– Patients suffering from dental phobia are now being treated with amazing success thanks to Conscious Oral Sedation.
Without the use of an IV, Dr. Mike Hopkins of Hopkins Aesthetic & Reconstructive
Dentistry is helping patients relax and accomplish dental treatment that they have
delayed for years. Conscious Oral Sedation is cutting edge dental technology, which
less than 10% of practicing dentists are certified to perform.
Conscious Oral Sedation helps to relax the patient using a combination of oral
sedatives, delivered sublingually, and nitrous oxide gas. This combination reduces
the patient’s consciousness to a level where they are awake and responsive, but
minimally aware of their surroundings. This medicine has an amnesic effect, so
patients can literally forget the sights, sounds, sensations and smells of their
appointments.
During a sedation appointment, the patients vitals (blood pressure, pulse ox rate,
etc.) are continually monitored and recorded. One designated staff member remains in
the room with the patient at all times. A typical sedation appointment lasts
approximately four (4) hours.
Patients suffering from dental phobia delay treatment for a myriad of reasons.
However, as time goes on their dental issues tend to increase and worsen. With this
new technology, Dr. Hopkins can fix dental damage that has accumulated over decades
in just several appointments. Conscious Oral Sedation can minimize the number of
appointments that the patient will require, by accomplishing more work at one time
while the patient is sedated.
