What Is Oral Sedation?
Oral sedation is a prescription medication you take before your appointment to help ease anxiety. It’s safe, effective, and allows you to stay conscious — but relaxed — throughout your visit.
You’ll need someone to drive you home afterward, but most patients report that their visit felt much shorter and more comfortable.
Who Should Consider Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation is a great option for patients who:
- Feel anxious or fearful about dental care
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Need multiple procedures at once
- Struggle with local anesthesia alone
- Have sensitive teeth or a low pain threshold
If any of these sound like you, talk with Dr. Heather about how sedation can make your visit easier.
