Sedation dentistry is never designed to put the patient to sleep. Most
sedatives allow the patient to stay awake during the procedure. Sleepiness can
be a side effect of some medications, but the oral conscious sedation is given only
to calm anxiety throughout the dental visit. Sedation dentistry is so popular
because the sedatives are taken by mouth; this means no injections, no anxiety
and no pain.
Here are some advantages associated with Sedation or Anxiolysis
dentistry:
- Anxiety is relieved
- Few side effects
- Much can be
accomplished during the visit
- No needles
- No pain
- Perfectly safe
- Procedures usually take less time
After conscious sedation, many do not remember the procedure at all.
Usually, a dose of medication is taken about an hour prior to the appointment. After
the dental procedure, sometimes patients feel groggy and sleepy. This is why it
is important that you do not operate or drive any machinery. Bring a designated
driver to get you home safely, and arrange for a trusted companion after care.
