Welcome to I-Rise Dental, where Dr. Anu Mohan and our dedicated team strive to provide painless dentistry for all our patients. One of the ways we achieve this is through oral sedation, a technique that helps alleviate anxiety and discomfort during dental procedures. Many patients ask about oral sedation because it can significantly improve their dental experience. If you’re searching for a painless dentistry procedure in Del Mar, CA, read on for answers to common questions about oral sedation and how it can help you achieve a stress-free dental visit.
Yes, dental sedation is safe when administered by a trained and experienced professional like Dr. Mohan. We take every precaution to ensure your safety. Before recommending oral sedation, we will review your medical history, current medications, and any potential allergies. We use safe and effective sedation methods tailored to your individual needs. We also monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure your well-being.
Dental sedation can benefit a wide range of patients. It is beneficial for those who experience dental anxiety or fear, have a low pain threshold, or have difficulty sitting still for long periods. Patients with sensitive teeth, strong gag reflexes, or those requiring extensive dental work can benefit greatly from oral sedation. Dr. Mohan will evaluate your specific situation to determine if oral sedation is the right option for you.
Oral sedation is typically administered as a pill before your dental appointment. The medication helps you relax, making you feel calm and at ease during the procedure. The degree of sedation may range from mild to moderate, contingent upon the dosage and individual requirements. We will provide detailed instructions on when to take the medication and any pre-procedure guidelines to follow for optimal results.
Yes, you will need a ride home after undergoing oral sedation. Because the sedative effects can last for several hours, it’s important not to drive or operate heavy machinery until the medication has entirely worn off. We recommend arranging for a family member or friend to accompany you to your appointment. They can drive you home afterward. Dr. Mohan and our team will also provide post-procedure care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
