Sedation Dentistry Q&A

What is Sedation Dentistry?

It’s important that you feel comfortable during a dental procedure. Some people experience higher instances of anxiety, which can make it difficult to receive important health care.

Several types of sedation can help you stay calm and comfortable during dental treatment. At OneSource Dental of South Tampa, we offer conscious sedation, which uses specific medications to help you relax while staying awake and responsive. For patients with milder anxiety, we also provide gentler medication options.

What can I expect when receiving Sedation Dentistry?

If you opt for sedation dentistry, the experts first ensure you’re not taking medications or have preexisting conditions that may interfere with treatment. They then ask several questions regarding your health history to confirm that it’s appropriate for you.

The specialist then provides your chosen sedation and monitors you carefully during the process. We can adjust the dosages depending on your levels of anxiety and comfort.

Do I need time to recover from Sedation Dentistry?
