Common Questions
Sedation dentistry questions
What types of sedation dentistry does Sansom Dental offer?
The team discusses nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation options when appropriate. The right option depends on the procedure, health history, anxiety level, and safety considerations.
Is sedation dentistry only for major procedures?
No. Sedation may help with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, longer appointments, surgical visits, or patients who have avoided needed care because of fear.
Will I need someone to drive me home after sedation?
Some sedation options require a responsible adult to drive you home. Sansom Dental reviews those instructions before the appointment so you can plan safely.
