At New Health dental, we offer oral sedatives, which is a type of medication that is taken at a at home, prior to the patient coming in for an appointment. Because the medicine is taken at home, patients are required to arrange transportation to and from the office. By the time patients arrive for treatment, the medication will have already begun to work. Oral sedatives allow the patient to remain conscious for the procedure. Patients can walk, use the bathroom, and respond to simple instructions. After treatment, most patients have little to no recollection of the procedure.
