Yes, sedation dentistry is safe when administered by trained professionals who monitor the patient’s vital signs throughout the procedure.

Patients with dental anxiety, low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, or a strong gag reflex can benefit from sedation dentistry.

Options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral sedation, and IV sedation, depending on the patient’s needs and the procedure’s complexity.

The duration of sedation varies based on the type used, but effects generally wear off within a few hours after the procedure.
