I don\u2019t like artificial things in my body so sedation dentistry isn\u2019t my first choice to help me relax. I don\u2019t drink alcoholic beverages often so when I do they relax me and I usually sleep until the next morning, but I\u2019m not drunk. I am wondering if wine is a good option to help me relax at the dentist. I would drink it maybe 15 minutes before I leave for my appointment. I would have my sister or a friend drive me to the dental appointment. I can arrive very relaxed and sleepy and get through the dental appointment without something artificial being used unnecessarily. Is this something a dentist would agree to? Thanks Leigh<\/p>\n

Leigh \u2013 Although you want to relax during your dental appointment, you also should be able to respond to the dentist\u2019s instructions and questions during that time. It sounds like alcohol would make you sleep through the entire procedure.<\/p>\n

Sedation dentistry<\/a> helps you relax. If your dentist has an important question for you, you would be able to respond. The medication you would receive is commonly prescribed anti-anxiety medication. It won\u2019t knock you out cold. Only a small amount of the medication is given, so your system won\u2019t be overloaded with an artificial substance. During the procedure, your vital signs are monitored and safety precautions are taken.<\/p>\n

Speak with a sedation dentist about your concerns. You might be able to take something natural to help you relax before your appointment, but wine or other alcoholic beverages won\u2019t be the preferred method.<\/p>\n

If your current dentist offers sedation, ask what he or she uses to help people relax. Sometimes nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is all that\u2019s needed. If you need a higher level of sedation, you and your dentist can discuss an agreeable method.<\/p>\n
