While the American Dental Associations recommends that patients visit their dentist every six months for a cleaning and examination, not everyone follows these protocols. For many patients in the area of Dublin, California, avoiding the dentist has become common. This is often due to dental anxieties. Drs. Munira Lokhandwala and Maryum Tariq of StarBrite Dental want patients to see them regularly for routine care while ensuring they are at ease and comfortable in the dentist’s chair. This is when our dental team may recommend oral conscious sedation for any upcoming procedures at their office.
Drs. Munira Lokhandwala and Maryum Tariq describe oral conscious sedation as a prescription sedative that is prescribed for the patient and picked up before the appointment. The patient takes the medication orally approximately one hour prior to their visit. The patient will arrange transportation with a friend or family member as they cannot be under the influence of this medication while operating a motor vehicle. Patients arrive at the practice relaxed and coherent, and can undergo any procedure with ease!
Patients do not have to have extensive dental work done to request sedation dentistry. We have patients who use oral conscious sedation for cleanings and examinations to ensure they have a more positive experience with our team. Patients can use this method of sedation for any treatment in our practice, and just need to request it at a prior visit.
Dublin, California patients who are interested in learning more about oral conscious sedation integration into their next dental appointment are strongly encouraged to take the time to book a consultation visit with Drs. Munira Lokhandwala and Maryum Tariq of StarBrite Dental. We accept new patients at our facility, conveniently located in Suite B at 7197 Village Parkway, and our front office team can be reached by calling (925) 828-0252.
