Enjoy a complimentary drink from our beverage bar, lay back in the cozy dental chair with a blanket and soft pillow, and even take in a movie or listen to soothing music!<\/p>\n<p>For added support, we also allow you to choose between inhaled or <a href=\"https:\/\/smile-creator.com\/sedation-dentist\/\">oral conscious sedation<\/a> to calm your anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Inhaled sedation, or laughing gas, is highly effective, can render immediate relaxation at the start of treatment, and wear off right away when it\u2019s over. But oral sedation is stronger, reserved for patients who need something more to take the edge off.<\/p>\n<p>You take a pill before your arrival, have a trusted friend or family member drive you to and from your appointment, and you\u2019ll be awake but deeply relaxed during your procedure for an easier, more pleasant patient experience.<\/p>\n<h3>*What You\u2019re Really Giving Yourself*<\/h3>\n<p>When you try oral sedation in preparation for your procedure, you\u2019ll feel calm and relaxed by the time you&#8217;re in the dental chair.<\/p>\n<p>During treatment, you\u2019ll still be able to communicate with Dr. Finley and our team but won\u2019t feel stressed, anxious, or tense throughout the process. With a sedative, you can even save time at the dentist office because you\u2019re in a relaxed enough state to undergo more than one treatment, or a longer, more complicated procedure, in a single appointment.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is great for overcoming your dental fear, but it only centers on the way sedation benefits you in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Dental sedation is more than that.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a chance to regain control of your oral health. It can help build your confidence so that with each upcoming dentist appointment, you won\u2019t be tormented by anxiety about what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re able to confidently maintain your routine appointments for cleanings and exams, you see that the real gift you\u2019ve given yourself is a healthier smile.<\/p>\n<h2>Make An Appointment<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s the most wonderful time of the year, but it\u2019s also the busiest!<\/p>\n<p>You may not give yourself much time to think about your teeth and gums right now, but in a few days, we\u2019ll all be turning our attention to the new year and resolutions we want to make to improve our health.<\/p>\n<p>Let our team at Bayou Dental Group help you overcome the fear and anxiety you have about dentist appointments so you can reach better oral health in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Call our Monroe, LA dental office today at <a href=\"tel:3183024236\">318-302-4236<\/a> or fill out our<a href=\"https:\/\/smile-creator.com\/request-appointment\/\"> online form<\/a> to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good health is quite a gift, one that no one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":473,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-255345","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-blog","8":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Find Peace Of Mind About Dental Care With Oral Sedation\u2502Monroe, LA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Give yourself peace of mind about dental care with oral sedation at Bayou Dental Group in Monroe, LA.
