Is dental sedation safe?

Yes, dental sedation is safe when administered by trained professionals. Dental anesthesiologists monitor vital signs throughout procedures and are trained to handle any complications.

Who should consider sedation dentistry?

Sedation benefits patients with dental anxiety, low pain tolerance, sensitive gag reflex, difficulty sitting still, or those needing lengthy or complex procedures.

Will I remember the dental procedure?

With nitrous oxide, you remain conscious but relaxed. Oral and IV sedation often cause partial or complete amnesia of the procedure. General anesthesia results in no memory of the procedure.
