Frequently Asked Questions
Is oral conscious sedation safe?
Yes, oral conscious sedation is a safe and widely used method for managing dental anxiety when administered by trained professionals like our team.
Will I be unconscious during the procedure?
No, with oral conscious sedation, you’ll remain awake and responsive, but in a deeply relaxed state. You may feel drowsy and have little memory of the treatment afterwards.

The effects of oral conscious sedation can last for several hours after your appointment, which is why it’s crucial to have a designated driver to take you home and to avoid operating heavy machinery or making important decisions until the sedative has fully worn off.
