Sedation Dentistry in Coconut Creek, FL

Oral conscious sedation is considered only after reviewing your health history, medications, procedure, and comfort needs. You remain responsive, although you may feel drowsy and remember less of the visit. The team monitors you during the appointment and provides preparation and recovery instructions. Every form of sedation has risks and limitations, which Dr. Emmy will discuss with you before treatment.

The effects of oral sedation vary and may continue for several hours after treatment. A responsible adult must accompany you, drive you home, and follow the recovery guidance provided by the office. Do not drive or make important decisions until the instructions for your medication say it is safe.

Before you leave, we will review expected effects, medication guidance, activity limits, and when to contact the office. Follow those directions even if you feel alert sooner than expected.

Fasting directions can vary with the medication, sedation level, procedure, and your health. Follow only the instructions provided specifically for your appointment. If you eat or drink outside those directions, or if your medications or health change, call the office before your visit rather than guessing.
