Some children become anxious in the dental office and can't relax or sit still long enough for the dentist to treat them. For these children, we may suggest forms of medication that allow the child to relax and/or become sleepy. This is called conscious sedation, since the child is still responsive to conversation or stimulation and all his or her protective reflexes are working. It may involve inhaling a gas, taking an oral medication, getting an injection or receiving medication intravenously. Conscious sedation also may be used when a child requires extensive dental treatment or has special needs.
