It Really Works!  You really can relax through your dental appointment.

Dental Conscious Sedation/Anesthesia
For some, going to the dentist can be a frightening experience. How many times have you wished that you could just sleep right through your appointment?  Well, there is a solution at the office of Dr. Rabice.  It is called dental conscious sedation/anesthesia because with this technique you are aware of where you are, you maintain your protective reflexes, but you are so  relaxed that you are no longer focused on your  surroundings.  

Dental Oral Conscious Sedation/Anesthesia
Oral conscious sedation is administered orally in the  form of a pill. With oral administration medicine is  taken by mouth about 1 hour before the procedure. The  sedative effect of the pill can last for hours  depending on the medication used. The exact effect of  the pill is difficult to determine and it is not as  safe or predictable as the intravenous (IV) form of conscious sedation.  

Dental Intravenous (IV) Conscious Sedation/Anesthesia
IV sedation is safer than oral sedation and is  predictable. The exact dose for each patient is  determined through a method called titration, where  medication is given slowly to the patient until the  desired level of sedation/anesthesia is reached. Also  there are medications to reverse the sedation. This is a safeguard that is not available using oral conscious sedation.  Dr. Rabice is one of a few dentists certified in New  York state to perform dental inhalation  sedation/anesthesia, conscious oral  sedation/anesthesia and dental IV sedation/anesthesia.  He is member of the American Dental Society of  Anesthesia.
