Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when performed by experienced professionals like Dr. Kelishadi. We monitor patients closely throughout the procedure to ensure their safety and comfort.
Most sedation options, like oral sedation and nitrous oxide, allow you to remain awake but deeply relaxed. IV sedation may induce a sleep-like state, but you can be easily awakened if needed.
The duration depends on the type of sedation used. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral or IV sedation may take a few hours to fully dissipate.
If you receive oral or IV sedation, you’ll need someone to drive you home. Nitrous oxide allows you to resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
