Relaxing Visits with Dr. Les Latner
Conscious Oral Sedation
If you postpone dental visits because of fear, anxiety, stress, or physical discomfort in the dental chair, Dr. Latner would like you to consider conscious oral sedation. This safe and effective sedation option involves administering a mild oral sedative in combination with nitrous oxide. Under oral conscious sedation, patients feel relaxed and peaceful.
Dr. Latner earned his conscious oral sedation certification through his pediatric dental residency at Children's Hospital - Los Angeles and through DOCS, the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation. This respected institute is well known for training dentists in all aspects of conscious sedation.
At your appointment, you'll swallow a small pill, then, after the sedative begins to work, we'll help you get comfortable in the dental chair. An assistant will be by your side to give you a blanket, answer your questions, and monitor your comfort throughout your procedure. Dr. Latner will administer nitrous oxide to enhance the effects of the sedation. He can perform hours of dental work while you rest comfortably.
You will need a friend or family member to drive you home from the appointment. The rest of the day, plan to relax. When you wake the next morning, the sedative will have subsided, and you'll enjoy the benefits of a stronger, healthier, more beautiful smile.
