With oral conscious sedation, you will experience a decrease in anxiety and feel at ease during your dental treatment. This type of sedation allows you to stay conscious throughout the procedure while we provide medication that relaxes your body and mind. Once the procedure is over, you will become alert and return to your ‘normal’ state afterward. Though you will be conscious and the effects of sedation do not linger, we ask that you arrange for someone to drive you on the day of your treatment for your safety and the safety of others.
