Why Choose Nelson Y. Howard, D.D.S. for Sedation Dentistry?

Oral Conscious Dental Sedation

This method of dental sedation comes in the form of a pill that is taken orally. You’ll be asked to take it the night before and then an hour or so before your dental appointment. This way, you’ll be fully relaxed and ready to receive care as soon you arrive for your visit. It is most commonly used for those who have moderate levels of anxiety to manage. While the effects will not put you to sleep entirely (meaning you’ll be able to communicate with Dr. Howard and his team during your visit), you will need to have a friend or family member drive you to and from the dental office until the sedative’s effects wear off.
