Sedation Options We Offer
Our dental practice offers oral sedation. Upon the arrival to your appointment, you will take a pill containing a sedative medication. Dentists frequently prescribe benzodiazepines or similar anti-anxiety medication. This medication will relax you and help to dull your sensations, but you will stay alert and conscious, able to respond to the dentist's requests.
