Dental Sedation Dentistry FAQs

If you have any questions about sedation dentistry, we’ve got answers.

Yes, sedation dentistry is very safe when administered by a qualified professional. We carefully monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your well-being.  

The level of sedation varies depending on the type used.

  • With nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, you’ll be relaxed but awake and able to respond to instructions.
  • IV sedation can induce a deeper state of relaxation where you may not remember the procedure, but you’ll still be able to breathe on your own and respond to stimuli.

Your dentist will provide specific instructions based on the type of sedation you’ll receive. Generally, you should:

  • Avoid eating or drinking for a certain period before the procedure.
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
  • Inform your dentist about any medications or medical conditions you have.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a safe and successful sedation experience.
