Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is a type of sedation dentistry that involves the use of oral medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. The medication, usually a pill, is taken before the procedure and induces a state of deep relaxation and reduced anxiety.

​

The safety of oral conscious sedation depends on several factors, including the patient's overall health, the type of medication used, and the experience and training of the dental professional administering the sedation. When performed by a qualified and experienced dental professional, oral conscious sedation is generally safe and effective.

​

However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, such as changes in heart rate and blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, and allergic reactions to the medication. Patients should inform their dental professional of any medical conditions or medications they are taking to ensure the safest and most effective experience.

​

It's important to follow all pre- and post-operative instructions provided by the dental professional to ensure a safe and successful experience with oral conscious sedation.
