Helping You Relax
Dental sedation covers a variety of techniques and medicines that help patients feel more comfortable during dental treatments.
At Northgate Dental Clinic, our team will consider your comfort throughout your appointment. We will inform you of each aspect of your treatment and allow you to take breaks when needed. For times when you are feeling a little overwhelmed or anxious, we offer oral sedation.
What is Oral Sedation?
Oral sedation, or conscious sedation, uses medication to help you feel more relaxed during your visit to our dental clinic. It is a small pill that is taken before your appointment.
With this type of sedation, you will remain awake and aware of everything around you. Being awake means you can still communicate with our team during your treatment. Even so, some patients become so relaxed that they fall asleep. Don't worry; if this happens, we will gently wake you once you are ready to head home.
