How Is Sedation Administered?
The most common form of sedation is taking a pill an hour before the procedure begins. One pill can help you to feel entirely relaxed and eliminate your fear of dentists. Most procedures, like teeth cleaning or fixing a simple cavity, do not necessarily hurt. With sedation, many people do not require additional medication. However, if you would like pain medication as well, we can give it to you after the sedation has taken effect.
What to Expect with Oral Sedation
Before your appointment, we review your medical history and provide clear instructions for taking the prescribed medication. On the day of treatment, you’ll feel calm and relaxed while remaining awake. Many patients say their visit feels shorter and easier than expected.
