Sedation dentistry is closely regulated by law, and there are three types a dentist can administer: mild sedation, moderate sedation, and deep sedation. Mild sedation (anxiolysis) is the lightest form of sedation dentistry and is administered orally for patients with mild anxiety, longer procedures, or more complex situations. You remain awake or very sleepy throughout the entire procedure and can breathe on your own, but you will feel a great sense of relaxation. Patients typically recover within a few hours after the procedure is complete. Moderate sedation is used for patients with moderate dental anxiety and for patients who need lengthy or complex procedures. With conscious sedation, you will remain awake throughout your procedure but will be in a deep state of relaxation. It is recommended that patients receiving conscious sedation have a parent, spouse, or friend accompany them to appointments because it can take several hours for the sedative to wear off and driving may be unsafe.
