Oral sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you feel more relaxed. Many patients describe the experience as calmer and more settled, while still being awake and able to respond throughout treatment.
It can be especially helpful for those with dental anxiety, sensitive gag reflexes, or longer procedures.
