Is Sedation Dentistry Safe?

In this video, Dr. Chris Powell explains how he evaluates whether sedation is appropriate and why a thorough consultation is essential for choosing the safest approach for each patient.

Sedation is very safe when it’s used for the right patient. At your free consultation, we’ll review a detailed health history, and if needed, we’ll coordinate with your primary care doctor to confirm that sedation is appropriate for you. Some patients may not be candidates or may require a hospital setting instead. A consultation allows us to determine the safest option and whether sedation is right for you.
