Dentist Stephen W. Durham of Durham Dental in Beaufort SC provides general and cosmetic dentistry services.
With oral sedation, you will feel relaxed and sleepy but completely aware of your surroundings. You can respond to Dr. Durham and his assistants with no problem. The effect of oral sedation wears off quickly, but you still need to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home. Potential sedatives include diazepam, lorazepam, midazolam, and triazolam. Dr. Durham will let you know which pill he prescribes and provide instructions for taking it. Please see our sedation dentistry page for additional information
