Dental visits should be calm, comfortable and stress-free. We provide oral sedation in Brookhaven, Georgia, to help patients who feel anxious or nervous about dental treatment. This safe and effective option allows you to feel relaxed during your visit while remaining conscious and responsive.

What Is Oral Sedation?

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your appointment to help reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm. It is commonly used for patients who experience dental fear, have a sensitive gag reflex or require longer procedures. The medication is taken by mouth and begins working before your treatment starts.

With oral sedation, you remain awake but in a deeply relaxed state. Many patients describe the experience as feeling drowsy, calm and detached from the sights and sounds around them. This allows for a more pleasant and manageable visit, even for those with high levels of dental anxiety.

Benefits of oral sedation include:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Increased comfort during treatment
  • Easier experience for longer or complex procedures
  • Safe and simple administration
  • Enhanced cooperation for patients with strong gag reflexes

Comfort-Focused Care You Can Trust

At Wolfe Family Dentistry, patient comfort is one of our top priorities. Dr. Emily Wolfe will meet with you to review your medical history, discuss your concerns and determine if oral sedation is right for you. Our dentist will provide clear instructions on how to prepare and what to expect before, during and after your visit.

It is important to arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment, as the sedative effects may last for several hours after treatment. Our team will monitor you closely during your visit to ensure your safety and well-being at all times.

Oral sedation is an excellent option for patients who have postponed care due to fear or discomfort. It allows you to receive the dental treatments you need while staying relaxed and in control.
