Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is a simple and effective way to reduce your level of consciousness and help you completely relax.

This type of sedation dentistry uses a pill-based sedative similar to Valium, such as Halcion or Ativan. You’ll take the pill 2 hours before your procedure, based on the recommendation of your dentist.

The result is a relaxed, dream-like state — some patients even fall asleep or forget the procedure entirely.

Nitrous Oxide

Also referred to as laughing gas, nitrous oxide sedation is inhaled via a small and comfortable face mask, producing a giddy sensation.

The effects of this type of sedation are quickly reversed. As soon as you stop breathing in the nitrous oxide, you’ll return to a normal state.

This type of sedation is commonly used on young people or those who have mild anxiety about being in the dentist chair.
