The benefit of orally administered sedation is that the patient is able to maintain normal body control and can still breath on his own. The disadvantage to oral treatments is that all patients respond differently. What may be an insufficient dose of sedative for one patient might completely knock out a different patient. The sedative works by not necessarily making the patient fall asleep, but rather to relax the patient to the point where they achieve a “sleep-like” state. In fact, those under the influence of orally administered sedation will still be able to speak and respond to the requests of others. After the sedative has worn off, many patients (although some may have technically stayed awake the whole time) will not remember much about their procedure. · Inhalation Conscious Sedation – Also known as laughing gas, a dentist can administer a dose of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Sedation in order to allow the patient to feel relaxed during their visit. With inhalation treatments all regular bodily functions remain the same and as with oral sedation the patient will frequently achieve a sleep-like state, not remembering much about their procedure.

Patients who exhibit extreme fear, immunity to numbing methods or have extremely sensitive teeth are usually those who should consider sedation dentistry.
