How Does Sedation Work?
Before providing your sedation, your dentist will explain what you can expect following your session and provide you with any necessary follow-up directions. The type of sedation dentistry you receive could vary based on your level of stress and the procedure itself. Nitrous oxide is distributed via a tiny nose hood and enables you to feel more at ease throughout your visit. For oral-conscious sedative drugs, you will take a pill about an hour ahead of your dental procedure, which gives you a moderate level of comfort. IV sedation is administered through the veins and offers a more thorough level of tranquilizer. Although IV sedation makes it possible for you to stay awake, you will probably feel as though you took a nap throughout your appointment. In the event that you were given oral-conscious or IV sedation, be sure to have a friend or family member take you home after your treatment.

About UsSedation Dentistry FAQs
What type of sedation is right for me?
The ideal type of sedation for you depends on your anxiety level and the complexity of the dental procedure. For routine cleanings or minor dental work, nitrous oxide is likely the best option. However, if you experience high anxiety and are undergoing more complex procedures, oral sedation might be more appropriate.
How long will it take for the sedation method to start working?
Nitrous oxide sedation typically takes effect within 2 to 3 minutes, providing immediate calming effects. On the other hand, oral conscious sedation usually begins to work within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how your body processes the sedative.
Can I eat or drink before undergoing sedation dentistry?
This depends on the type of sedation you will receive. For nitrous oxide sedation, eating or drinking beforehand is generally acceptable. However, if you are opting for oral conscious sedation, it is usually recommended to fast for at least 6 hours before your appointment to ensure the medication is as effective as possible.
