Oral sedation is a simple and effective way to help you relax before and during your dental visit. We prescribe a pill you take before your appointment to reduce anxiety, making it easier to stay calm and comfortable throughout your care. You’ll remain awake and able to respond, but in a deeply relaxed state—perfect for patients who feel nervous about treatment or are undergoing complicated procedures.

Prepare For Your Procedure
Follow Medication Instructions Exactly
Take your prescribed oral sedation pill at the exact time directed—typically about an hour before your appointment. Do not take extra doses or combine it with other medications unless we’ve approved it.
Don’t Eat or Drink Before Your Visit
Please avoid eating and drinking for at least 6 hours before your appointment, unless instructed otherwise. An empty stomach helps the sedation work safely and effectively.
Arrange for Transportation
You must have a responsible adult bring you to and from your appointment due to the lingering effects of the medication.
