Oral Conscious Sedation

Our dentist and team are happy to administer oral conscious sedation before a major dental procedure here at Murfree Dental. This type of sedation helps you to feel completely at ease and will provide you with little to no recollection of the procedure. If you have any questions about oral conscious sedation in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, before your procedure with Dr. John Murfree and would like to speak to a team member, please call us at 615-893-1770.

Oral conscious sedation is a form of sedation that we may recommend to ensure that you have a comfortable experience each time you visit our office. Administered in pill form, oral conscious sedation is simple and easy to use. Because oral sedation is a form of conscious sedation, you will remain awake during the treatment, but you will feel more relaxed and at ease. There are many other benefits to sedation dentistry, including:

• With oral conscious sedation, you simply need to take a pill. It is quick and easy to use.
• It produces the necessary amnesic effect for a comfortable experience.
• Oral conscious sedation typically costs less than other forms of sedation.

If you and our dentist determine that oral conscious sedation is right for you, you will be prescribed a pill that will help you relax. You will also receive instructions to take the pill before your scheduled appointment; be certain to follow the specific instructions included with your pill. It is important that you have a family member or friend drive you to and from your appointment to provide maximum safety to yourself and others. When you arrive at our office, you will be awake but extremely relaxed. You may feel drowsy, and it is not unusual for you to not remember all of the details of your appointment.
