Hi,
I'm just wondering how exactly sedation is administered and more information about it. Apparently, I will still be conscious during the procedure and will be able to respond.
As dental sedation is not something we offer at the practice I work at, I'm not overly familiar with the technique.

The 3 most common forms of sedation on offer are:

Inhalation sedation (also known as “laughing gas”, “happy gas”, nitrous oxide, “gas and air”, relative analgesia)
Oral sedation (anti-anxiety pills or a liquid)
Intravenous (IV) sedation (drugs administered into the blood-stream through a vein – that’s what “intravenous” stands for)

These are not things to be done lightly. It is always best to talk to your dentist about the whole issue before you decide.
