As with any medical intervention, there are potential risks. However Conscious Sedation has been used in dentistry for many years and as such, robust and clearly defined operating protocols are in place to reduce risks to a minimum. In addition, a detailed consultation is carried out prior to any treatment to further identify and mitigate potential risks. During this consultation, any questions and concerns you may have can be addressed and discussed.
Will I be awake during Sedation?
Once sedated, you will be awake, however you will be in an extremely relaxed and calm state. You will be relieved of all feelings of nervousness and anxiety.
