Sedation Questions
Is dental sedation safe?
Yes, oral sedation is very safe when administered by experienced professionals. Dr. Hoffman thoroughly reviews your medical history and carefully evaluates any medications or health conditions before recommending sedation. Throughout your appointment, you are monitored to ensure your comfort and safety at all times.
Will I be unconscious?
No, with oral sedation you remain conscious and responsive. You'll feel deeply relaxed and may have little memory of the procedure, but you can still communicate with Dr. Hoffman.
How long does sedation last?
Oral sedation effects typically last 2–6 hours depending on the medication and dosage. You'll need someone to drive you home, and we recommend resting for the remainder of the day.
Can I eat before sedation?
We'll provide specific pre-sedation instructions, which typically include avoiding food for several hours before your appointment. Following these guidelines ensures your safety and comfort.
What procedures can use sedation?
Sedation can be used for virtually any dental procedure, from routine cleanings for anxious patients to complex surgeries, extractions, and lengthy restorative treatments.
Do I need someone to drive me?
Yes, you must have a responsible adult drive you to and from your appointment and stay with you until the sedation effects completely wear off.
