Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral medication is a safe and effective method of helping most children relax and have a more successful, comfortable dental appointment. Our dental office believes the goal of this treatment type is to achieve light or conscious sedation, not to put children to sleep.

With the benefit of relaxing medication children may remember little about the appointment and return for a six-month check-up with less apprehension. While conscious sedation is not ideal for every patient, it certainly helps many by reducing anxiety and increasing their ability to cooperate.
