What Kinds Of Oral Sedation Are Available?

Conscious Oral Sedation allows you to be completely relaxed while having dental work done. With oral sedation, you will take a prescribed pill or tablet which you’ll either swallow or dissolve under your tongue before your appointment & will remain awake, but calm, the entire time.

Ativan© (Lorazepam)

Ativan© (generic name: lorazepam), is taken about an hour before your procedure begins.

Lorazepam pills, which are in the class of benzodiazepines, are designed to cause drowsiness and fight insomnia. Some patients are able to fall asleep under this kind of sedation, but you can still be gently shaken awake if need be.

Depending on the desired effect, sedation could be extremely mild, where you’re relaxed but conscious, to moderate, where you’re conscious but might slur words and probably won’t remember the procedure very well or at all.

Halcion© (Triazolam)

Halcion© (generic name: triazolam) has one of the shortest onset and duration of action in the oral sedation category and is taken roughly 30 minutes before your procedure.

Triazolam is a similar to other benzodiazepines, designed to cause drowsiness and fight insomnia. Some patients are able to fall asleep under this kind of sedation, but you can still be gently shaken awake if need be.

Sedation could be extremely mild, where you’re relaxed but conscious, to moderate, you’re conscious but might slur words and probably won’t remember the procedure very well or at all depending on the amount prescribed.

General Dentist

Being able to see the “behind-the-scenes” action when I was working in various clinics made me fall in love with dentistry and decide to pursue and obtain my DDS from UBC. Now, I am a member of British Columbia Dental Association and the Vancouver and District Dental Society.

A smile really can radiate confidence. I love that in a single visit, I can change my patients’ attitudes about themselves and, in a way, change their lives. I get to know each and every one of my patients, to make sure that I know their needs and concerns thoroughly.
