Some forms of sedation can make you drowsy and even make you fall asleep. In some cases, you may wake up from sedation and not even remember the procedure. Other forms of sedation, like oral conscious sedation tend to make you less aware, but allow you to remain awake.
Only general anesthesia will completely eliminate consciousness during a dental procedure. Your chances of falling and staying asleep during sedation depend on a number of factors, including your unique physiology.
If you would like a sedation option that allows you to sleep through your procedure, be sure to bring it up with Dr. Agamov during your consultation. She’ll review your medical history, listen to your concerns, and gather all the relevant information before deciding on the sedation method that works best for you.
