Oral Sedation
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help you feel calm and relaxed throughout your visit. At Ryerson Smile Boutique, oral sedation is ideal for patients with mild to moderate dental anxiety. You'll remain conscious but deeply relaxed, with little memory of the procedure afterward.

A sedative pill is taken approximately one hour before your appointment. You remain conscious but deeply relaxed, with greatly reduced awareness of the procedure.
How it helps?
Oral sedation makes dental care accessible for patients with mild to moderate anxiety, allowing complex procedures to be completed comfortably and efficiently.
