What Is Oral Sedation?
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your dental appointment to help you feel deeply relaxed. Unlike nitrous oxide, oral sedation provides longer-lasting calm and is ideal for patients with higher anxiety levels or longer procedures.
Patients often feel:
- Very relaxed or drowsy
- Less aware of time
- Reduced fear and stress
- Comfortable throughout treatment
Wearing retainers as directed is the key to lasting results.

Oral sedation may be recommended if you:
- Experience significant dental anxiety or fear
- Have had traumatic past dental experiences
- Have difficulty sitting still for long appointments
- Need multiple or complex procedures

Our dentist will determine candidacy during a consultation.
