Pre & Post-Operative Sedation Instructions
We understand that millions of Canadians avoid the dentist because of fear and anxiety. We will provide you with oral conscious sedation if you so choose. We only ask that there is someone to accompany you to your appointment and drive you home.
What is Oral Sedation?
Nervous about your dental appointment and procedure? You’re not alone. Many patients feel very anxious before they even step foot in our office, which is why we’re happy to offer sedation dentistry to help reduce stress, nervousness and anxiety. One method we use is referred to as conscious sedation. You’ll be given a pill to take orally one hour before your appointment.
While you’ll still be awake during your appointment, you’ll feel much more relaxed and comfortable as your dentist performs the necessary procedures to enhance your oral health. In some cases, patients may not even remember what happened since they were in such a “relaxed state.”
Remember, after your appointment, you’ll need a friend or family member to drive you home as the sedative wears off. You may feel rather sleepy, but this feeling should wear off soon after returning home.
What happens after treatment?
