Sedation Dentistry Quiz

Were you initially quite relieved when you learned about sedation but instantly found yourself overthinking it, wondering if you truly can receive relaxing dental care? You will discover as you delve deeper into the details of sedation dentistry, this dental solution really does offer the benefits it claims. However, if you are convinced that you will find a downside to this seemingly too-good-to-be-true option, we encourage you to test your knowledge. By clearing up any confusion, you can feel positive about your upcoming, deeply tranquil visit.

Sedation Dentistry Quiz: True or False?

  1. True or False: Sedation dentistry is safe, so you can rest easy knowing you will enjoy a comfortable treatment without feeling worried.
  2. True or False: No matter which sedation you choose, you will need someone to be around after your visit to drive you back to your home.
  3. True or False: To figure out which sedation option is best for you, we will always begin with nitrous oxide to see if it is sufficient for your needs.

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.
  3. False. We will discuss your feelings about dental care, discuss your particular needs, and come to a decision together about which sedation dentistry option is best for you. We do not operate with a universal approach.
