Sedation Dentistry FAQ's

Will I be asleep during sedation dentistry?

No. You will be in a relaxed, tranquil state - but not asleep.

Why do people choose Sedation Dentistry?

sensitive teeth
exaggerated gag reflexes
limited time for a visit
want to avoid discomfort
anxiety during their visit

Will I be able to drive to or from my dentist appointment?

No. You will be taking a tranquilizing medication beforehand, and such drugs may impede your ability to drive. To be safe, please make arragements prior to your appointment for transportation home after the appointment.

Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?

Absolutely. You will be monitored at all times by dental by Dr. Haydt and assistants to make sure that you are not in any danger. You will never be alone and the procedure is completely safe.

What medication is used for Sedation Dentistry?

Nitrous oxide or "laughing gas" is used for patients with mild to moderate anxiety. The advantage with nitrous oxide is it takes affect quickly but is also completely reversed quickly. This allows the patients to be able to drive home or to work immediately after their appointment.

For patients with moderate to severe anxiety, Triazolam or Lorazepam is used. These drugs put the patient into a deep sleep which allows us to treat for longer periods of time. We can do more work which means fewer visits. This is very important for those patients who have severe anxietyassociated with dental procedures.

A combination of both Triazolam, Lorazepam and Nitrous Oxide allows for a deeper sedation when needed.
