Oral Sedation and Dentistry Asleep

Oral Sedation and Dentistry Asleep

Using Oral Sedation

Oral medications don't take more time to work compared to nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. Dentists will give you a pill for your child to take about an hour before the procedure. The most common drug is triazolam but there are others we can discuss with you.

Few Side Effects

Oral sedation has few side effects, if any. Some children may experience grogginess and confusion. The most common side effect is a loss of memory where they remember nothing of the procedure.

Conscious Sedation

Oral sedation and dentistry asleep programs typically make children drowsy but they don't put them completely asleep. It is a twilight sleep where they can answer questions if needed. However, children may fall in and out of sleep during the procedure.

 

Oral sedation is a way to help a child relax throughout a dental procedure. We have several medications that can be used. Our dentists evaluate your child’s case, including age, fears, and medical history before recommending a specific oral sedation medication. Our dentistry asleep program offers many options for sedation.
