Sedation Dentistry FAQs
Is sedation safe?
Yes for appropriate candidates. We review your medical history, medications, and tailor dosing while monitoring you throughout.
Will I need a driver?
Nitrous typically doesn’t require one. Oral sedation does — please arrange a responsible adult to drive you to and from your appointment.
Can I eat or drink beforehand?
We’ll give you written pre-op instructions based on the type of sedation and time of day.
Will I be asleep?
Nitrous and most oral sedation help you relax; you’ll remain responsive. We’ll keep you comfortable the whole time.
