Oral Sedation in Cypress, Houston, TX
What Is Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves the use of prescribed medication, typically taken an hour before the dental appointment, to help patients feel relaxed during treatment. The sedative induces a state of deep relaxation while keeping you conscious and responsive throughout the procedure.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Oral Sedation
Oral sedation is an ideal option for patients who:
- Experience moderate to severe dental anxiety
- Have a low pain threshold
- Require extensive or multiple procedures in one visit
- Have a strong gag reflex
- Struggle with sitting still for extended periods
Our dental team will evaluate your health history and individual needs to determine if oral sedation is the right choice for your care.
How Oral Sedation Works
Before your appointment, our dentist will prescribe an oral sedative, usually in pill form such as diazepam or triazolam. You’ll take the medication at a designated time before your procedure. By the time you arrive at our Cypress office, you’ll feel calm and at ease.
Throughout your treatment, you will remain awake and able to respond to verbal cues, but your sense of time and discomfort will be significantly reduced. A companion is required to accompany you, as you will not be able to drive after your appointment.
