What is oral conscious sedation?
Oral conscious sedation is a safe and effective way to help patients feel more relaxed during their dental treatments. We prescribe a sedative pill that is taken before the appointment, allowing you to remain awake but deeply calm and at ease. This form of sedation is perfect for patients with dental anxiety or for those undergoing more complex procedures. While you’ll stay conscious, the experience will feel much less stressful, and you’ll be comfortable throughout the visit.
Can I drive home after receiving oral conscious sedation?
For your safety, it’s important to have a trusted friend or family member accompany you to your appointment and drive you home afterward. The effects of the sedative can take several hours to wear off, which can affect your coordination and reaction time. We also highly recommend resting for the remainder of the day as the sedation fully wears off.
Who should receive oral conscious sedation?
Oral conscious sedation is a great option for patients who feel nervous or anxious about dental procedures. It’s also helpful for individuals with a low pain tolerance, sensitive gag reflex, or those requiring longer appointments for complex treatments. If sitting still for extended periods is challenging, this sedation method can help make your experience more comfortable. If you are interested in adding dental sedation to your treatment plan, we’ll review your medical history and dental needs to determine if oral conscious sedation is right for you.
