Sedation dentistry has it's risks, but it has been proven very safe. While most dentists prefer to work on their patients while under the influence of a local anesthetic, sometimes it's just more safe to put the patient under to avoid risk of injury to themselves and those around them.

Although you will be cared for, and looked after by dental professionals, it is best that you bring a companion for your appointment when dental sedation will be used. You may feel "light headed" after your dental procedure and may not be able to drive. Bring someone to drive you home to prevent an accident.

Is sedation prior to dental treatments safe for young kids?

If the sedation used is medication (example Ativan or Valium) taken a few minutes before the dental appointment, then it is very safe. The only negative side is that, if taken very excessively, a person can become dependent to it. But taken a few times causes no risk at all. Some people even take this kind of sedation before taking an airplane for a long flight if they want to sleep more easily.

For how long can a person be safely under conscious IV sedation during a lengthy dental procedure?

This depends on many factors, including the age of the person and their health. As long as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and other vital signs are closely monitored, people can safely be sedated for extended periods of time, in some cases weeks or months (or in very rare and extreme cases, years). Such extended sedation, however, can have its own side-effects upon waking, most notably muscular atrophy from lack of use.However long a dental procedure may take, the patient would probably be safe if his or her vitals are monitored appropriately and care is taken when appropriating and administrating anesthesia.


Will brushing dental crowns scratch them?

Brush them lightly, putting so much pressure on them or brushing hardly will cause harm. Dental crown safety is a concern of many people.

Along with that, after care and precautions matters a lot!
