Frequently Asked Questions

Explore common questions about oral sedation, demystifying its process, benefits, and safety. Learn how this gentle method enhances relaxation during dental procedures, ensuring a stress-free experience.
What is oral sedation?
Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before the dental procedure to help relax and reduce anxiety. It’s administered orally, providing a calming effect during treatment.
Oral sedation is considered safe when administered by a qualified dentist. Before the procedure, we assess your medical history and ensure the dosage is appropriate for you, prioritizing safety.
No, oral sedation induces a state of deep relaxation, allowing you to remain conscious and responsive throughout the treatment, but you’ll feel significantly more at ease.
Oral sedation is ideal for patients with dental anxiety, phobia, or those requiring extensive procedures, enabling a more comfortable experience.
The sedation effects can vary based on the medication and dosage. Typically, it lasts several hours, ensuring relaxation during and after the procedure.
After the procedure, you might feel groggy for a while, so it’s essential to have someone accompany you home. Plan for rest and avoid strenuous activities for the remainder of the day.
Pediatric patients may benefit from oral sedation, but eligibility is determined based on the child’s health, age, and procedure requirements.
Due to the sedative’s lingering effects, it’s unsafe to drive immediately after. Arrange for someone to drive you home after your appointment.
Minimal side effects like drowsiness, dry mouth, or temporary memory lapses might occur, but they typically diminish shortly after the procedure.
Your dentist will provide specific pre-sedation instructions, including fasting guidelines, and discuss your current medications to ensure a safe sedation experience.

I don’t even know where to start… my dental trauma began the day Elvis Presley died when I was 10 years old in 1977… I got hit in the mouth with a baseball bat cracking my front tooth leaving the nerve exposed… the removal of the cracked portion of the tooth which then led to a root canal was the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced… to me it was worse than childbirth… I had temporary crowns made until I was 18 years old and finally received my permanent crown that was bulky and oversized… For the past 38 years I have managed with this crown due to just not being the biggest fan of going to the dentist and the overall expense, but at the same time I also was becoming more self-conscious about it. After a high recommendation to North River Dental, I decided it was time. I can not tell you how at ease the staff at North River Dental made me… from the moment I walked in the door for my initial consultation, to the planning, and finally the execution of my dental journey, it couldn’t have been a more wonderful experience… I knew I was presenting Dr. Krauss with a unique situation and he nailed it! I am so very satisfied… EVERYONE made me feel like I was their only patient and they seemed as excited about my outcome as I was… THANK YOU so much North River Dental for making coming to the dentist a pleasurable experience…I am smiling BIG and I can’t wait to see you all again, soon!

Manuel did such an amazing job cleaning my teeth my husband noticed. He said that a spot that no one has gotten on my middle of my 2 front teeth was clean. He also helped me understand why I may need to reconsider a mouth guard or invisiline orthotics. His explanation was convincing.

Kristin was WONDERFUL as a dental hygienist. I hope she remains with NRD. I couldn’t ask for better service. It was also great that she set up Dr. Steinberg to review my x-rays and see me for the last time before he retires. I have been a patient since 2003 and I am sad to see Dr. Steinberg leave – the whole organization has been like family all these years. God Bless everyone who remains with NRD. Thank you for excellent service.
