The Sedation Process
Prior to the procedure, you will take the prescribed medication, which will induce a state of deep relaxation. While you will remain conscious and able to respond to instructions, you may feel drowsy and have little memory of the procedure afterwards. Our skilled dentists will perform the necessary dental work while ensuring your safety and well-being.
Post-Sedation Information
After the dental procedure, you will need a responsible adult to accompany you home. The effects of the sedative medication can last for several hours, so it is important to rest and avoid strenuous activities. Our team will provide you with detailed post-sedation instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
