Frequently Asked Questions
What is sedation dentistry?
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It can range from mild sedation, where you are awake but relaxed, to deep sedation, where you are almost unconscious.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by a trained and experienced professional. Your dentist will carefully evaluate your health history and discuss the best sedation option for your procedure to ensure your safety.
What types of sedation are available?
Common types of sedation include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation (a pill you take before your appointment), and intravenous (IV) sedation for deeper relaxation. The choice depends on the complexity of the procedure and your comfort level.
How will I feel after sedation?
With mild sedation, you may feel relaxed but fully awake. For deeper sedation, you might feel groggy or drowsy after the procedure. It’s typically best to have someone drive you home after receiving moderate or deep sedation.
Do I need to prepare for sedation?
Preparation depends on the type of sedation. For oral or IV sedation, you may need to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before your appointment. Your dentist will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare for your specific sedation method.
