Q. Will I feel any sort of pain at all? |
 |
|
A. No, you will feel nothing. Most patients feel
no discomfort
|
|
whatsoever during their treatment and feel
surprisingly good
|
|
afterwards with little or no memory of your
treatment. |
|
|
Q. Will I be completely unconscious?
|
|
A. No you will not, although you are in a state of
sedation. You will
|
|
receive just enough medication so that you will
be completely
|
|
relaxed during your treatment.
|
|
|
Q. Will I be monitored while I am sedated?
|
|
A. Yes, with very sophisticated vital sign
monitoring |
|
equipment, and one of our team members is
always with
|
|
you throughout the entire visit. |
|
|
|
Q. How long will
I be sedated for my treatment? |
|
A. Depending on
your individual needs, you may be sedated for any
amount of time from 2-6 hours.
|
|
|
|
Q. How will I
travel to and from the doctor's office if I am to be
sedated? |
|
A. Although you
will feel fine after your appointment, you will need
to have someone to accompany you
|
|
due
to the sedative effects of the medication. This
person should be available to bring you to and
|
|
from the
office. You should NOT drive after taking your
prescribed medication until the time that will
|
|
be outlined
by your Dentist.
|
|
|
|
Q. How do I know
if Sedation is right for
me? |
|
A. Before
receiving treatment of any kind your medical history
will be thoroughly reviewed by the
|
|
Doctor. He
or she will decide how well you will fit into a
Sedation program. And, as mentioned
|
|
before, you
will be monitored very closely during your
treatment. |
|
|
prior to your dental appointment. Your
companion will accompany you to the office.
When you arrive, you will be very relaxed, and a
little sedated. You will sink into a very
comfortable chair, covered with a thick, warm,
and cozy blanket. Your vital signs will be
monitored carefully at all times. After you are
comfortable, our experienced clinical team will
take care of your dental needs. When your
treatment is completed your companion will
return you home to finish relaxing.
