Is sedation just for scared people?
Sedation can be used on any type of patient. While the vast majority of patients that we sedate have a fear of dentists, there are many that simply want to be very comfortable during treatment. Many times our patients can not afford taking time off work, so we sedate them to allow us to do a large amount of treatment in a long appointment and have the patient very comfortable during the entire appointment. Other times we have people that have severe gag responses and require IV Sedation in order to tolerate treatment.
