Quiz Answer Key

  1. True. Before we offer sedation to you, we will examine you and discuss the status of your health and any medications you are taking. During your treatment, we will monitor your vitals and comfort.
  2. False. If you choose nitrous oxide, you will be able to drive yourself home after your visit and even return to your usual plans. However, if you select oral sedation, you will need assistance returning home and will need to avoid driving (and your usual plans) for the rest of the day.
