That depends of the level of sedation. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is the first lever and it wears of quickly enough for the patient to drive them selves home. The next level is oral sedation with triazolam sublingual and it last all day so definitely no driving and you will need someone to stay with you afterwards at home for most of the day. We more rarely do IV sedation in our office and it also requires you to have driver take you home.
