Oral Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation can help patients achieve a deep level of relaxation in the dental chair. For this option, we’ll prescribe a custom dose of medication for you to take by mouth a little while before your appointment. The medication works gradually, and you should feel fully relaxed by the time you reach our office. While you will feel as if you’re in a dream-like state, oblivious to all the sights, sounds, and sensations that would typically cause you discomfort, you will remain conscious the entire time. You may not remember anything about your appointment afterwards, and you’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home afterwards.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sedation Dentistry?
Not everyone is a good fit for sedation dentistry. The best way to tell if it’s right for you is to come see us for a consultation, where we can discuss your concerns and review your medical history. You will likely be considered a good candidate for sedation dentistry if you:

- Have an overactive gag reflex or very sensitive teeth
