There are many different agents that can be used for conscious sedation- there are inhalation agents (laughing gas) and medicines that are drunk from a cup. None of these sedatives render the child unconscious. Recommendations of which medication to be used are based on the child’s age, level of anxiety, amount of dental work that needs to be completed and length of appointment.
