What Is Sedation Dentistry?

“Sedation dentistry” refers to the medical treatments dental offices use to calm anxious or nervous patients before a dental procedure or appointment. Sedation dentistry is an optional treatment that can relieve patients of their anxiety and put them in a state of relaxation.

While you remain conscious and aware during the appointment, you often remember very little or nothing at all about the procedure. Sedation techniques can also help patients with a strong gag reflex, or those who need several procedures done at once.

Dental Oral Sedation

Many patients with high anxiety levels choose our oral dental conscious sedation option. Dental oral conscious sedation is administered by ingesting a small tablet, which can be taken a little before a dental procedure. Conscious sedation sends patients into a deep state of relaxation.

Because the effects can last for a few hours, patients who choose dental oral conscious sedation will need to have a friend or family member drive them to and from their appointment. This is very important—driving after taking a sedation pill constitutes driving under the influence. We care about your safety!
