How It Works

Oral moderate sedation is a form of conscious sedation we may recommend to ensure your child will have a comfortable experience each time you visit our office. Administered in liquid form, oral sedation is simple and easy to use. Because oral moderate sedation is a form of conscious sedation, your child will remain awake during the treatment, but they will feel more relaxed and at ease.

There are many benefits to sedation dentistry, including:

• With oral sedation, your child will simply drink the medication. It is quick and easy to use.
• There are no needles involved to administer the medication.
• It produces the necessary amnesic effect for a comfortable experience.
• Oral sedation typically costs less than other forms of sedation.

If you and our doctor determine that oral sedation is right for your child’s dental treatment, they will be administered a liquid that will help them relax, and feel at ease.
