Is conscious sedation safe?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has established guidelines for the safe sedation of pediatric patients. When these guidelines are followed, pediatric dentists have an outstanding record of safety in performing procedures under conscious sedation. We adhere to these guidelines, which means that we select our sedation patients carefully, we carefully calculate doses according to weight and body type, we monitor vital signs throughout treatment, and patients must meet certain criteria before discharge. Conscious sedation is not something that we take lightly, but we do it with a very high level of confidence.
