What is Oral Sedation for Children?

Oral sedation is a form of conscious sedation in which a prescribed sedative medication is given orally before the dental procedure. The medication helps children feel relaxed, sleepy, and less anxious while still being able to respond to instructions from the dentist.

At Kinder Smiles Dental Clinic, oral sedation is used to make dental visits stress-free for children who are nervous, fearful, have special healthcare needs, or require extensive dental treatment.
