Sedation dentistry involves the use of medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It is often recommended for individuals who experience dental phobia, have difficulty sitting still for extended periods or have a sensitive gag reflex. Sedation can range from mild relaxation to deep sedation, depending on your needs.
Sedation dentistry is generally safe for most patients, but eligibility depends on your medical history, current medications and overall health. Our dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation before recommending sedation. Patients with certain conditions, such as respiratory issues or allergies to sedatives, may require alternative relaxation techniques.
Not necessarily. Most forms of sedation, such as nitrous oxide and oral sedation, help you feel deeply relaxed but still aware of your surroundings. IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation, and general anesthesia induces full unconsciousness. Our dentist will recommend the most appropriate option based on your needs.
The duration of sedation effects depends on the type used. Nitrous oxide wears off within minutes, allowing you to resume normal activities. Oral and IV sedation may take a few hours to fully wear off, requiring someone to drive you home after your procedure.
Fasting requirements vary depending on the type of sedation. For nitrous oxide, eating a light meal beforehand is usually fine. However, oral sedation, IV sedation and general anesthesia often require fasting for several hours. Our dentist will provide specific pre-appointment instructions to ensure your safety.
