During your consultation, we’ll review your health history, treatment needs, and comfort level to recommend the right sedation option.

Sedation Dentistry FAQS
What are the benefits of choosing sedation for extensive dental procedures?
For extensive dental procedures or certain surgical treatments, deeper levels of sedation may be recommended. Depending on your needs, this can help you remain deeply relaxed with little or no memory of the procedure. Our team carefully monitors your comfort and safety throughout treatment and reviews recovery instructions with you afterward.
Will I be asleep when sedated?
Typically not. Sedation dentistry will help you relax and can make you drowsy, so some patients do nod off. However, with our sedation methods, you are still in control of your body and are technically not put to sleep.
Can everyone use sedation dentistry?
To determine if you are healthy enough for sedation (most people are), we recommend that you schedule an appointment with our Pompano Beach dental office. We will meet with you to discuss the type of sedation that will be best for your procedure and the level of dental anxiety that you are experiencing.
Are there any side effects of sedation dentistry?
Most of the time, the sedation goes away within an hour of your procedure being complete. If you are more heavily sedated or put to sleep for oral surgery, it can take a couple of hours to feel normal but this is rare. In our Pompano Beach dental office, we use the least amount of sedation to help you feel completely relaxed and comfortable. Thus, it is effective without staying in your system for too long.
Can children benefit from sedation dentistry?
Yes, children may need sedation when going through large amounts of dental work so that they can hold still long enough for a dentist to complete the dental work. This is a unique specialty and is not offered at every dentist office.
Will I be able to move around like normal?
Yes, with sedation dentistry you can continue to engage in conversation and respond to commands; but your response times may be slightly delayed and your mind not be as clear as normal. This is why we recommend that you either have someone drive you home or wait until it has worn off completely before driving home after the appointment.
Is sedation dentistry safe?
Yes. Sedation dentistry is widely used and safe when administered by trained professionals. We carefully review your medical history and monitor you throughout treatment.
Can sedation help if I have severe dental anxiety?
Absolutely. Many patients choose Sedation Dentistry Pompano Beach services because of dental fear, anxiety, or past traumatic experiences. Dr. Nicole M. Berger provides compassionate sedation dentistry in Pompano Beach for patients who feel nervous about dental treatment and want a more comfortable experience.
How long does sedation last?
It depends on the type used. Nitrous oxide wears off quickly, while oral or IV sedation may require recovery time and a driver home.
