Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is one way to use conscious sedation. It is administered by staff through a nose plug or mask. It generally makes people feel carefree where they are insensitive to pain and easy to work on during the dental procedure.
Oral medication can come in many different forms and the type of medication you get depends on your health and the dentist's preference. There is a syrup that children take to ease their anxiety during procedures.
Remaining conscious gives the dental staff a way to communicate with you so that the procedure goes well. Remaining conscious is generally considered safer than using a sedation method that puts you to sleep, although all are deemed safe.
