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 oral sedation helps with
• Difficulty sitting comfortably through treatment
• Fear related to past dental experiences
• Supporting a smoother, calmer visit
Why oral sedation matter
Dental anxiety can keep people from getting the care they need. Oral sedation offers a safe, carefully monitored way to make treatment approachable and manageable at a pace that feels right for you.
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.
