Oral agent doesn't mean pills, necessarily. Most likely, they mean an injected local anesthetic. This is the kind where they use the machine with the needle tip to tap into the soft tissue inside your mouth and pump an oral numbing agent into it to affect the area of the mouth in which they're working.
And once again, go back to what I said before... "sedative" is a very broad word, medically. There are a lot of drugs that one could unofficially refer to as a "sedative", having nothing to do with all 3 literally meaning "something that puts you to sleep".

Like I said, "an oral agent" almost never means pills. Also, what "that many injections"? There was an IV line. I don't know where you're getting "that many injections" from. And no, none of us "know this". Go ahead and argue with people who have licenses in the field, who are saying there's not enough info to say anything definitive. We don't even know what drugs, specifically, she received. So no, I have to respectfully point out that you do
not "know" this, sorry to say.

Really though... why would you post what you posted after 2 pages of people speculating, but then saying "there's no way of knowing because there isn't enough information"- some of them people in general medical fields (and licensed), at least one of which in the very field this story deals with? Just seems like you're trying to be inflammatory or controversial on purpose. *shrug*
