Sedation Dentistry, also known as Relaxation Dentistry, is the way a dentist manages pain and anxiety during dental appointments.  All it takes is a swallow of a small pill an hour prior to your scheduled dental visit and say hello to a state of deep relaxation.  This oral medication used for Conscious Sedation in the field of Dentistry comes from a group of drugs known as Benzodiazapines.  Apart from the sedative effect of this drug, it produces lesser degree of amnesic effect for most people.  Patients may remember little or nothing about their dental appointment.  Halcion (triazolam) is the drug of choice as it provides a deep level of relaxation and amnesia effect.  For children, Versed (medazolan), a liquid medication, is the top choice.
