FAQs | Sedation Dentistry Houston

WHAT TO EXPECT

By taking a small pill an hour before your visit, you will be relaxed by the time you arrive. Since you'll be too sedated to drive, you must be accompanied to and from your appointment by a friend or family member. You will be seated in a comfortable chair and covered with a warm blanket. Depending on your needs, we will administer more sedation. Before starting your treatment, we will make sure you are completely comfortable.

 

At our office, our dentists are trained and certified to administer class I & II sedation while our Anesthesiologists are trained and board certified to administer class III and IV sedation.

 

CLASS I, II, III & IV

Class I allows the dentist to administer nitrous oxide. Class II Conscious Sedation is defined as “an induced controlled state of depressed consciousness.” This is the type of sedation being offered at virtually all the dental offices that advertise sedation. Class III Deep Conscious Sedation is defined as “the inability to respond purposefully to either physical stimulation or to verbal command but the patient retains the ability to independently and continuously maintain an airway”. Class IV Sedation is general anesthesia. At Dentiq (den-teek) Dentistry we offer light to deep sedation including general anesthesia when necessary.
