Oral sedation dentistry has a long history. It was first used in the early 1800s and has been increasingly popular in recent years. According to the American Dental Association®, about 3-5% of all dental procedures are now performed using some form of sedation dentistry.

Oral sedation is a form of dental care that uses medication to help patients relax during treatment. It is often used for children and adults who have anxiety or fear about going to the dentist. Oral sedation can also be used for people who have difficulty getting numb or for procedures that require a lot of time in the dental chair.
The medication used for oral sedation is usually a pill that is taken before the appointment. This type of sedation is different from general anesthesia, which is when you are put to sleep during the procedure. With oral sedation, you will be awake and able to respond to questions and commands from the dentist, but you will likely feel drowsy and relaxed.
There are several benefits to oral sedation dentistry. It can help patients feel at ease as our team sees to your dental needs. It can also be used for more intensive treatments, helping patients feel comfortable during our care.
If you think you might benefit from oral sedation dentistry, please contact our dental office to learn more. Schedule an appointment now.
