This is another form of conscious sedation used, ‘Hypnovel’, but is administered in tablet form and is far safer for children and the elderly. We also use this sedation for more minor treatments rather than IV. Much like IV sedation, though, this sedation requires you to follow a few imperative things to remember prior to and post-appointment:

Pre-Op:

• Organise a friend, family member or loved one to escort you to and from the appointment
• When treatment is completed, your friend or relative will drive you home
• Come in one hour before your scheduled appointment

Post-Op:

• You will feel comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free once you are fully awake and the sedation effects have worn off.
• You will probably remember very little from your treatment
• DO NOT operate a motor vehicle for 24 hours after receiving Oral Conscious Sedation.

*Due to the lack of analgesic or pain relieving qualities provided by oral sedatives, local anaesthetics will be applied to prevent pain. Just like IV sedation, however, you won’t remember or feel a thing from the injection due to the relaxing effects brought upon by the sedative.
