Question: What makes oral sedation a unique option when compared with other dental sedation solutions?
Answer: Keep the name of this sedation option in mind as you compare them to one another. In this case, the main difference includes: The fact that it’s “orally” administered, which means you will take the sedative by mouth. It’s simply a pill.
Question: So, does that mean that I’ll be receiving just one dose of the sedative? This seems different from nitrous oxide and IV sedation.
Answer: You are correct! With the other forms, we can customize the amount you receive (and continue providing it) throughout your procedure. With oral sedation, the amount of sedative you take is the full dosage for your visit.
Question: Why would someone want this option over others?
Answer: There are many reasons, which may include: You dislike needles, so you don’t want IV sedation. You want something one step stronger than laughing gas, so the next stop is oral sedation. Whatever the reason, we encourage you to talk with us!
