Is Sedation Dentistry Safe For You?

Posted on 11/22/2021 by Dr. Jae Seon Kim

In the event that you must receive a long treatment, dental sedation helps our professionals offer you a comfortable experience and facilitates our work. Depending on your needs, we can use it in different ways. However, if it is a procedure that you have not received before, it is normal that you have doubts about its safety. To learn more, please continue reading to answer all your questions.

Arranging Everything For Your Safety

Although the majority of our patients prefer dental sedation, not all are eligible to receive it. For most of the population, nitrous oxide poses no risk and is the safest option. We must take other factors into account when considering deep sedation. For this reason, in our office, only specialists in the type of sedation that you are going to receive will perform the procedure.

Our professionals will make a thorough review of your medical history, taking into account all the medications you are using at the time of your consultation, including vitamins, since some comorbidities do not react well to sedation. We will take care of informing you of the possible risks of undergoing dental sedation and the protocol that we will apply to avoid them.

Our dentist will take care of administering the appropriate dose for your age and health condition, and will know exactly how to handle the situation in case the sedation does not work properly. For this reason, we consider dental sedation a safe process since our specialists know how to handle all types of patients.

We Will Take Special Care Of You During the Sedation

While you are asleep, our dentists will check your vital signs at all times to ensure your well-being. As well as we will have oxygen and medications to reverse the sedation process if necessary. Come and visit us, and you can be confident that you will be in good hands in our care.
