Sleep dentistry & sedation in Midland
Sedation can make dental treatment manageable for people with dental anxiety, a strong gag reflex, or who need lengthy or complex procedures.
What to know
Options range from oral sedation and inhalation sedation (happy gas) to intravenous (IV) sedation administered by an appropriately qualified practitioner. With IV sedation you are deeply relaxed and usually remember little of the appointment, although you are not fully unconscious.
Suitability depends on your medical history. A consultation is needed first, and you will need someone to take you home after IV sedation.

Common questions
Will I be asleep?
With IV sedation you are deeply relaxed and drowsy rather than fully unconscious, and you are monitored throughout. General anaesthesia, if needed, is arranged in a hospital setting.
Is sedation safe?
Sedation is administered only after a medical assessment and by appropriately qualified practitioners with monitoring equipment. Your dentist will discuss the risks with you.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
