Patients who are phobic, elderly, physically disabled, or mentally impaired pose unique challenges in the dental operating environment. Reducing stress during the dental appointment allows for improved cooperation, safety, and clinical efficiency. There is an increased need for dentists who are able to confidently and competently render care to these patients. Adult oral conscious sedation at the minimal level is a valuable way to more effectively manage the specific dental needs of this growing population.
