Oral Conscious Sedation
Simple And Easy Sedation For Your Next Dental Visit At Every Enamel Dentistry Studio In Texas
Take The Edge Off During Your Dental Appointment
Oral conscious sedation is one of the most commonly used types of sedation. You take a sedative pill or liquid 30 minutes to an hour before your appointment, and the calming effects will last throughout your treatment. It's an easy, cost-effective way to help you stay calm during any dental appointment that makes you nervous, whatever that might be, a routine cleaning, filling, or another type of oral surgery.
The Benefits Of Oral Conscious Sedation For Dental Procedures
Completely Relax
You may even fall asleep. Oral sedation is ideal for mild to moderate dental anxiety and for patients who want to fully relax.
Amnesic Effect
Forget the pain. Although you're awake and aware of what's happening, you will forget any pain or discomfort.
Easy and Safe
Worry free. There are no needles involved and the risk of adverse reactions is relatively low.
Fast Recovery
Resume your day. You shouldn't drive with oral sedation, but you can continue your day as normal.

Can An Emergency Dentist Do A Root Canal?
If you have a persistent or severe toothache, this may indicate that you have an infected tooth. If this is the case, it’s critical to come in for an emergency appointment to get a root canal and restore your tooth.
Enamel Dentistry offers emergency care and expert root canal therapy, and we want to make sure that our patients are informed about the signs and symptoms of infected teeth. Here are a few things to keep in mind about emergency dental care and root canal therapy in Austin:
Emergency Dentists Are Fully Qualified To Perform Root Canals
If you’re wondering whether an emergency dentist can do a root canal, the answer is “yes!” All dentists are trained to provide root canal therapy during their time at dental school. Any qualified emergency dentist at Enamel Dentistry is fully capable of performing a root canal.
In fact, an emergency dentist is often the best choice for a root canal. Instead of waiting for an appointment with a specialized endodontist, you can get help immediately. The sooner you get a root canal, the more likely it is that you will be able to save your tooth.
The Signs And Symptoms Of An Infected Tooth
Here are a few of the signs and symptoms of a tooth infection:
- A prolonged toothache that lasts several days and won’t go away
- Pain that radiates from the tooth to your jaw bone, neck or ear
- Discoloration of the affected tooth or nearby gums
- Swelling of the gums near the affected tooth
- Sensitivity to heat, cold and the pressure of biting or chewing
- Swelling in your cheek or face
If you notice one or more of these symptoms, your tooth may be infected. When you come in for emergency care, we will assess your smile and offer a diagnosis. If your tooth is infected, we will remove the source of your infection and save your tooth. During treatment, one of our dentists will open up the tooth, remove the decayed material from the inside, disinfect it, then fill and restore it to ensure that your tooth is protected from further decay and damage.
An Infected Tooth Is A Dental Emergency – Get Same-Day Care From Enamel Dentistry
A tooth infection certainly qualifies as a dental emergency, and it’s important to get help as soon as you can to make sure you can save your damaged tooth. At Enamel Dentistry, we offer same-day emergency dentistry in our offices throughout Austin.
With same-day care, you can reduce your risk of further complications and get relief from the pain and discomfort of your infected tooth. If you need an emergency root canal, take a look at our locations and contact the Enamel Dentistry office nearest to you for a same-day emergency appointment.
