Who Benefits from Sedation Dentistry?
Sedation dentistry is suitable for:
- Patients with Dental Anxiety: Individuals who experience fear or anxiety when visiting the dentist can benefit from sedation, as it helps them relax and receive the necessary dental care without stress.
- Patients with Gag Reflex: Some patients have a sensitive gag reflex, which can make dental procedures uncomfortable. Sedation helps reduce the reflex and enhance the patient's comfort.
- Complex or Lengthy Procedures: For extensive dental work that may take several hours to complete, sedation ensures the patient's comfort and allows the dentist to work efficiently.
- Special Needs Patients: Sedation can be a valuable tool in providing dental care to patients with special needs, ensuring a safe and stress-free experience.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Is dental sedation safe?
Yes, dental sedation is safe when administered by qualified dental professionals. Our team at Gold Coast Dental is highly trained in sedation techniques to ensure your safety and comfort.
Will I be unconscious with dental sedation?
Not necessarily. While some types of sedation, like general anesthesia, may induce unconsciousness, others, such as oral sedation or laughing gas, will keep you awake but relaxed.
How long does the sedative effect last?
The duration of the sedative effect varies depending on the type of sedation used. For example, laughing gas wears off quickly, while IV sedation may take a few hours to wear off completely.
Can I drive myself home after sedation dentistry?
For procedures involving sedation or general anesthesia, it is essential to arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery. Safety is a top priority.
