Abstract
Sedation is frequently required to relieve anxiety in the field of dentistry. Among sedation techniques, oral sedation has been widely used because it is easy for administration and has a wide acceptability for dentists. This article discuss the pharmacology of oral sedatives and therapeutic considerations of these drugs, and finally how to manage apprehensive patients using oral sedation. Also, we recommend how pertinent drugs should be used to maintain an adequate level of sedation, not deep sedation
