Oral Conscious Sedation in Pasadena, CA
Relaxed, Comfortable Periodontal Care—Without Fear or Stress
Dental anxiety is more common than many people realize—and it shouldn’t prevent you from getting the care you need. At Angha Perio, we offer oral conscious sedation to help you feel calm, safe, and in control throughout your periodontal treatment. Whether you're facing a deep cleaning, tooth extraction, or implant surgery, our sedation option allows you to receive expert care without the worry.
What Is Oral Conscious Sedation?
Oral conscious sedation is a simple, prescription medication taken before your appointment to help reduce anxiety and increase relaxation. Unlike general anesthesia, you remain awake, responsive, and able to communicate—but deeply calm and less aware of the sights, sounds, and sensations of treatment.
The effects are gentle, and most patients remember little about the procedure afterward. You’ll need a companion to drive you home, but otherwise, recovery is quick and smooth.
Who Can Benefit from Sedation Dentistry?
You may be a good candidate for oral conscious sedation if you:
- Experience dental anxiety or past trauma
- Feel overwhelmed by complex or lengthy procedures
- Struggle with a strong gag reflex
- Have high sensitivity to dental instruments or noise
- Need multiple procedures completed in one visit
- Are undergoing periodontal surgery or tooth extractions
We’ll perform a detailed health screening and medical history review to ensure this sedation option is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be completely asleep?
No. With oral conscious sedation, you’re in a deeply relaxed state, but still awake and responsive. You likely won’t remember much of the procedure afterward.
Is it safe?
Yes. We perform a complete health assessment to ensure the medication is appropriate for you, and you're monitored throughout your visit. It’s a well-established, low-risk option for reducing anxiety.
Can I drive myself home?
No. You’ll need a trusted adult to drive you to and from your appointment, as the effects of sedation can last for several hours.
Is sedation covered by insurance?
In some cases—especially for surgical procedures—sedation may be partially covered. We’ll help review your benefits and explain all costs before scheduling.
