Twin Peaks Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offers oral sedation to help our customers feel more comfortable in our office. Many patients feel nervous about dental care, but oral sedation can help you feel comfortable and relaxed so you can still get the care you need.
Oral sedation is a type of medication that helps patients relax better during dental procedures. If you get oral sedation, we’ll prescribe you a pill to take before your procedure. By the time you arrive for your appointment, you’ll be feeling relaxed and maybe a little drowsy.
We’ll perform the procedure you need, and then a friend or family member will drive you home. The medication should wear off after a few hours. When it does, you may not even recall what happened during your appointment, but you’ll still get all the health benefits of getting dental treatment.
