What Is Oral Sedation?

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment that helps you feel calm and relaxed throughout treatment. You remain conscious and able to respond, but many patients recall very little of the procedure afterward.

Is Oral Sedation Right for You?

Oral sedation is a good option for patients with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or those undergoing longer procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Vallo will review your health history to confirm sedation is a safe option for you.

Oral Sedation FAQs

Is oral sedation safe?

Oral sedation is generally safe for healthy patients when administered and monitored by a trained team. We review your medical history beforehand to confirm it is appropriate for you.

Will I be unconscious during treatment?

No, oral sedation keeps you in a relaxed, conscious state. You can respond to instructions, but you will likely feel very little anxiety and may not remember much of the appointment afterward.

Do I need someone to drive me home?

Yes. Oral sedation affects your alertness and reaction time for several hours, so you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.

How should I prepare for sedation?

Generally you will need an empty stomach for several hours prior, and transportation arranged for afterward. We will give you full instructions ahead of your appointment.

Is oral sedation only available for certain procedures?

Sedation is most commonly used for longer or more involved treatments, such as implant placement or multiple procedures done in one visit. Ask us during your consultation if it makes sense for your treatment plan.
