Sedation Dentistry
Feeling nervous about dental treatment is common, and it should not keep you from getting the care you need. At Revive Dental, we offer oral conscious sedation to help eligible patients feel calmer and more comfortable during their visit.
What Is Oral Conscious Sedation?
Oral conscious sedation uses prescription medication taken by mouth before treatment. It can help you feel deeply relaxed and drowsy while remaining conscious and able to respond to your dentist. Some patients remember very little about their appointment afterward.
Oral conscious sedation may be helpful if you:
- Feel anxious or fearful about dental treatment
- Have a sensitive gag reflex
- Find it difficult to sit comfortably through a longer appointment
- Need several procedures completed during one visit
What to Expect
Before recommending oral sedation, your dentist will review your health history, current medications, and planned treatment. If it is right for you, we will give you clear instructions about when and how to take the prescribed medication.
During your appointment, our team will monitor you and make your comfort a priority. Because the medication can affect you for several hours, a responsible adult must drive you to and from the office and stay with you after your visit. Plan to rest for the remainder of the day and follow all instructions provided by our team.
Talk With Us About a More Comfortable Visit
Every patient is different. We will answer your questions, discuss your concerns, and help you decide whether oral conscious sedation is appropriate for your care.
