Sleep dentistry, also known as sedation dentistry, involves using medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. It can benefit those with dental anxiety, a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex or those needing extensive dental work.
Yes, sleep dentistry is generally safe when administered by trained professionals. We will review your medical history and monitor you closely during the procedure to ensure your safety and comfort. It is important to discuss any current medications with your dentist to ensure that sedation is a suitable option for you. Your dentist will evaluate your individual situation and recommend the safest sedation method.
After undergoing sleep dentistry, you may feel groggy or disoriented for a few hours as the sedation wears off. It is important to arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you until the effects fully subside. Your dentist will provide specific post-sedation care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
