The Oral Surgery Sedation Process
Before your oral surgery, your doctor reviews your health history and explains each step of the procedure. You will learn what to expect and how to prepare, including when to stop eating or drinking. Some patients may need a friend or family member to drive them to and from the appointment. The team answers any questions you have, so you feel confident and prepared for treatment.
During the procedure, sedation helps you stay calm while your doctor performs the treatment. You will stay awake but often feel very relaxed and might have little memory of the surgery. Your vital signs are monitored continuously to keep you safe. After the procedure, your doctor provides clear instructions for resting, eating, and caring for the treatment area. You may be given medication for comfort or a follow-up appointment to ensure proper healing. The goal is to make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
