Oral Sedation

Dental anxiety should never prevent you from getting the care you need. At Redwater Dental Clinic, we offer oral sedation to help anxious patients relax during dental procedures. Simply take a prescribed medication before your appointment and feel calm and comfortable throughout your treatment.

Benefits of Oral Sedation

• Reduces anxiety and fear during dental procedures
• Simple — just take a pill before your appointment
• Allows you to remain conscious and responsive
• Most patients remember little of the procedure
• Safe and well-established sedation method
• Ideal for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety

How Oral Sedation Works

The process is straightforward:

1. Pre-appointment consultation to assess your needs
2. Prescription medication taken before your visit
3. You will feel relaxed and drowsy during treatment
4. Local anesthetic still used for pain-free procedures
5. You will need someone to drive you home afterward

Oral sedation is a great option for patients who feel nervous about dental visits but do not require deeper IV sedation. We will help you determine the best sedation option for your comfort level.
