Do you hate going to the dentist? Nearly one in 10 people report having had a bad experience at a dentist’s office.
 Fortunately, a trip to the dentist doesn’t have to be painful. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with the safest, most comfortable dental care possible. That’s why Dr. Koch recommends sedation dentistry to patients who are extremely anxious about visiting the dentist. Sedation dentistry can also help people who need extensive or complex dentistry receive treatment in as few appointments as possible.
Dr. Koch recommends oral conscious sedation for patients who have had a past traumatic dental experience, difficulty becoming numb, a severe gag reflex, very sensitive teeth, or complex dental problems. With oral conscious sedation, he prescribes a sedative for you to take before your appointment. You will need to arrange for a friend or family member to drive you to our office, as you will be under the effects of the sedative.
Once in our office, we will take you to our operatory and monitor your vital signs. You won’t be completely unconscious, but you will have little to no memory of the appointment. Once complete, your companion can escort you home to relax.
After undergoing sedation dentistry, many patients feel more confident about visiting Dr. Koch again. If you haven’t been to a dentist in years and think that sedation may be right for you, call our office at 409-384-5438 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Koch.
