• Fear of needles and shots
• Trouble getting numb

Oral Conscious Sedation

In Dr. Jacka's office, we use oral conscious sedation for our patients. Through this type of sedation you will experience very deep relaxation while still being conscious. Your doctor will provide you with an oral medication that is easy to swallow, safe, and low cost. Most adults will receive Halcion (triazolam), though children are usually given a liquid medication like Versed (Midazolam). When the medication takes effect, you will be able to speak and respond to external requests.
