FAQ
Is dental sedation safe
For most healthy patients, yes. We screen carefully, tailor dosing, and monitor continuously. We’ll discuss risks and benefits during your consult.
Will I remember the visit
Many patients remember very little with oral or IV sedation. Nitrous provides relaxation but most people recall the visit.
Can I drive afterward
You’ll need an adult escort for oral or IV sedation. Nitrous alone usually does not require an escort.
How do I prepare
We’ll provide written instructions. These may include fasting, adjusting certain meds with your physician, and arranging an escort.
