Sedation dentistry may help some patients feel more comfortable during dental treatment. The suitable type of sedation, if any, depends on your health history, anxiety level, planned procedure, medications, and the clinician's assessment.
Ask about sedation if dental anxiety makes it difficult to attend appointments, you have a strong gag reflex, you need a longer procedure, or you have had difficult dental experiences. A consultation is required so the team can review whether sedation is appropriate and explain the available options.
The consultation includes a review of your medical history, medications, allergies, planned treatment, and practical arrangements for the day. The dental team explains the sedation approach they recommend, instructions for eating or drinking if applicable, and whether you need a responsible adult to accompany you after the appointment.
No. Safety and suitability depend on your medical history, medications, procedure, and clinical assessment.
Follow the clinic's specific instructions. Some sedation appointments require a responsible adult to take you home.
Share your complete medication list, allergies, health conditions, previous reactions to sedation, and any recent health changes.
