Some children can become anxious when they see the dentist. As a result, they may not be able to relax or sit still long enough to receive treatment.
The dentist may suggest giving these children a form of medicine that can help them to relax and/or become sleepy. This is called "conscious sedation." Using conscious sedation may allow a child to become more relaxed. But the child will be able to respond to voices or stimulation and will maintain his or her protective reflexes.
