What is Oral Sedation?

Oral Sedation or pill sedation, differs from it’s in-office counterparts (IV and Nitrous) as it’s typically provided to the patient in advance of their treatment. Benzodiazepine, the active ingredient in Oral Sedation, helps to inhibit the part of the brain that causes anxiety or fear providing patients a sense of calm throughout treatment.
