Sedation dentistry may help selected patients feel more relaxed during dental treatment. At Smile Seed Dental, the appropriate sedation approach is considered based on the procedure, age, medical history and individual needs.
Oral or IV sedation is not suitable for everyone. The dental team reviews the patient’s medical history, treatment requirements and sedation considerations before deciding whether this approach is appropriate.
Sedation Suitability and Planning
The dentist considers the patient’s age, medical history, planned procedure and individual needs before recommending oral or IV sedation. Preparation and monitoring requirements are explained in advance.
What to Expect
If sedation is planned, the dentist provides instructions about preparation, monitoring and post-treatment care. The specific protocol depends on the procedure and patient.
