What are oral sedatives?

Oral sedatives are pills that are taken about an hour before a dental appointment. These medications don't completely knock you out, but they can make it easier to relax. Patients taking oral sedatives may feel drowsy or unaware of what's happening around them, but they'll remain conscious throughout the treatment.

Before prescribing a medication, Dr. Gobran will ask about your medical history and any allergies you may have. Inform us about any medications you're currently taking, as they may interact with the sedative. Rest assured that Dr. Gobran considers your safety and comfort before recommending any pills.

Are you still concerned about dental pain?

We understand that dental treatment can be a bit scary, but you don't have to worry about feeling excess pain or discomfort. Dr. Monica Gobran & Associates may combine sedation with local anesthesia for a more comfortable experience overall. We also provide detailed aftercare instructions so you can return to your regular activities as soon as possible.
