Oral sedation can vary from minimal to moderate and it depends on the total dose received. Minimal sedation involves taking a pill, which is normally called Halcion. It is a member of the same medication family as Valium. You will have to take this pill about one hour before the procedure takes place. After taking this pill, you will feel drowsy but still will be awake. In some cases, a larger dose will be given for the purpose of producing moderate sedation. Sedation dentistry mostly uses this type of anesthesia. Some people might become extremely groggy from moderate oral sedation, making them fall asleep during the procedure. However, a gentle shale can easily awake a patient.
