Sedation means that you are given a fast-acting drug, Midazolam, just before the procedure, which relieves anxiety and makes you sleepy, but you do not fall asleep completely. In some cases, you get what is called amnesia, which means that you do not remember anything from the procedure. This can often be an advantage in connection with unpleasant interventions. The drug is given in a plastic cannula intravenously, straight into the blood. The medicine is given by a doctor and you are monitored during the procedure and for a while afterwards. As this medicine is not pain relieving, the dentist will put local anesthesia where needed. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

You should not eat or drink anything 6 hours before the procedure. Drinking water goes well as long as there are no large amounts. You need to tell your dentist what diseases, medications and allergies you have and if you have ever had problems with anesthesia before. If you become ill before the procedure, e.g. a cold, you need to contact us as it may involve risks with sedation. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

You can rest with us at the reception for a while after the procedure because most people are very tired and unstable after sedation. You need to be picked up by an adult because you are not allowed to drive or cycle the same day. You should also not drink alcohol or take sleeping pills the same day. Attention, coordination and judgment deteriorate and you should avoid activities that require any of these. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
