Oral Sedation in New York City, NY
Dental anxiety should never stand in the way of a healthy smile. At Jaklin Morovati DDS, we offer oral sedation in New York City to help patients feel calm and comfortable during their dental visits. Whether you experience nervousness, fear, or discomfort during treatment, oral sedation provides a safe and effective way to ease your worries.
What Is Oral Sedation?
Oral sedation is a type of conscious sedation that involves taking a prescribed medication before your procedure. This medication helps you feel deeply relaxed while remaining awake and responsive. Many patients feel drowsy and may have little to no memory of their appointment, making it a great option for those with dental anxiety or fear of needles.
How Oral Sedation Works
Before your appointment, Dr. Jaklin Morovati will assess your medical history and discuss whether oral sedation is the right choice for you. If recommended, you will take a sedative pill before your procedure. The medication ideally starts working within 30 to 60 minutes, allowing you to feel relaxed yet conscious throughout your treatment.
During your visit, our team will monitor you to ensure your safety and comfort. While oral sedation does not put you to sleep, you may feel drowsy or slightly detached from your surroundings. Some patients experience temporary amnesia, meaning they recall little to nothing about the procedure afterward.
Benefits of Oral Sedation
- Simple and Needle-Free – A convenient option for patients who prefer to avoid IV sedation or general anesthesia.
- Reduces Anxiety and Fear – Helps patients feel calm and at ease throughout their treatment.
- Easy to Administer – Just one pill taken before your appointment provides a stress-free experience.
- Minimal Memory of the Procedure – Ideal for patients with dental phobia or those undergoing longer treatments.
What to Expect After Oral Sedation
Since the sedative effects can last several hours, you must arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home after your appointment. It’s also best to rest for the remainder of the day and avoid operating heavy machinery or making important decisions until the medication has fully worn off.
