Sedation Dentistry FAQs
Will I be "knocked out" during my sedation dentistry appointment?
No, you will not be unconscious. The type of sedative used lets you respond, express your needs, and control your own breathing. However, many patients are so relaxed during their sedation dentistry appointment that they fall asleep during their procedures! Sedation wears off gradually and leaves patients with pleasant memories of their visit.
Am I a good candidate for sedation?
To determine your candidacy, schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Ragnell. After an in-depth discussion and evaluation of your needs, he can tell you if sedation is the best option for you.
Why do people choose to undergo sedation?
People choose to have dental procedures performed with sedation for many reasons, including:
- Difficulty getting numb
- Dislike of needles
- Dental anxiety
- Fear of dentists and dental treatments
- They need multiple procedures
