Moderate sedation FAQs
Clear answers before you book
What is moderate oral sedation with nitrous?
It combines oral medication taken before your visit with nitrous oxide during treatment to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable.
Will I be asleep?
No. You are typically awake and able to respond, but feel calmer and less focused on the procedure.
Do I need a ride home?
Yes. Because oral sedation can cause drowsiness, you need someone to bring you and take you home after your appointment.
How do I prepare?
We will provide instructions based on the medication prescribed and your health history. Follow them carefully and ask us any questions before your visit.
