For your safety, it's essential that you do not attempt to drive or operate heavy machinery until the effects of the oral-conscious sedation have fully worn off, which usually means waiting until the next day. Plan to have a responsible adult accompany you to your appointment and stay with you for at least the rest of the day following your procedure. This person can help monitor your recovery, assist you at home, and provide support in case of any complications or side effects from the sedation.
