I\u2019m investigating sedation dentistry but I don\u2019t see any info on whether or not it\u2019s something I can get addicted to? I don\u2019t want to take that risk just because I am nervous at the dentist. I would rather take my own meds. Theo<\/p>\n

Theo – There are various levels of sedation<\/u><\/a>, and\u00a0if used only for dental appointments,\u00a0it is uncommon to become addicted to them. You will be given a level of sedation that matches your level of anxiety.<\/p>\n

The medication you receive is mild, commonly prescribed anti-anxiety medication. The medication you receive will make you drowsy and help you relax. \u00a0The effects will wear off in several hours. Also, the medication is not taken on an ongoing basis. It is only used when you have a dental appointment that requires it.<\/p>\n

If you have a dentist who uses sedation, or if you are choosing one who does, speak with him or her about the types of sedation available in the office, as well as the side effects.<\/p>\n
