We understand that for many people the thought of dental work can initiate a little anxiety. And although dentistry has made immense advances in the comfort of delivering care, there are still some patients who require a little extra help to get over their fear. Put your mind to rest, because Delaware Smile Center is proud to offer sedation dentistry.
Dr. Sohaib and Saqib Usmani have undergone extensive training in oral conscious sedation and have both participated in courses offered by the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation.

Questions?
Oral conscious sedation utilizes oral sedative medications to reduce any anxieties you may have prior to receiving dental work. Unlike general anesthesia, oral conscious sedation will leave you able to speak and breathe on your own. Although you are not “sleeping” throughout the dental procedure, you are in a heightened state of relaxation so that any discomfort is minimized, and in most cases, eliminated completely.
After thoroughly reviewing your medical history with you, your dentist will prescribe you medicine to take the night before your dental appointment. You will be given additional medication the day of your appointment to ensure you are in a state of complete relaxation and comfort. You will be required to bring a companion to escort you to and from the dental office.
