Oral sedation

Oral sedation uses a prescribed medication taken before your appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed. While you stay conscious and able to respond, the calming effect makes it easier to sit comfortably and receive care without stress. This option is often chosen by patients who prefer more relaxation than nitrous oxide alone can provide.

What happens during sedation

We review your medical history, prescribe medication tailored to your needs, and guide you on when to take it before your appointment. During your visit, you’ll feel calm, relaxed, and supported throughout. Because the effects can last several hours, you will need someone to accompany you to and from the clinic.
