be walked through the procedures. You will need to provide your medical history so that the sedation
process does not interfere with any medicine or health conditions, and this will also allow you time to
express any concerns to your dentist. The more you are able to vocalize your fears, the dentist will
be able to help you make the process less intimidating.
SEDATION LEVELS
There are different levels of sedation, but you will need someone to drop you off and pick up
because you may feel a little weak and wobbly after the procedure. Your dentist will provide you with
information on when and how much you should eat and drink after your visit. Whether you just need
a checkup or have a pain you keep wishing goes away, the right sedation dentistry service in Fatemi
Family Dentistry, LLC can help make visits more efficient and less stressful.

sedation is very safe under these circumstances. Your Vital signes are monitored before, during and
after the procedure. Breathing is monitored as well through pulse oximetry as well Capnography that
measure the respiration. We also premedicate our patients to reduce the level of anxiety. Once they
are in the chair, they are already semi sedated.
One of the factors that patients with phobia share is that their blood pressure rises prior to the
procedure. This can present a medical risk to the patient. Under IV sedation, blood pressure is
decreased and kept under control. Patient is relaxed and is not apprehensive anymore. This is
particularly important for patients with high blood pressure or cardiac issues. IV sedation makes the
dental visit safer and more enjoyable.
