How Oral Sedation Works

Deep relaxation — starting before you arrive

💊
Taken Before Your Appointment
Prescribed sedative tablet taken about 1 hour before. By the time you arrive, you're already deeply relaxed.
😌
Profoundly Calm
Deeply relaxed and drowsy — anxiety completely eliminated. Most patients have little to no memory of the appointment.
🧠
Ideal for Moderate–Severe Anxiety
For patients beyond what nitrous oxide addresses who prefer a pill to an IV needle.
🚗
Companion Required
Sedative impairs driving for the rest of the day. A responsible adult must accompany you to and from the appointment.
CDCP Coverage Accepted
Oral sedation is covered by CDCP when used with covered dental procedures for eligible patients.
