Before-Sedation Instructions

What it is: Individual written directions cover medicines, eating and drinking, clothing, arrival, escort and other safety requirements.

When considered: Instructions must be followed exactly and questions resolved before medication is taken.

What to expect: We begin with an examination and appropriate records, explain the findings, and tailor the sequence to the tooth, tissues, bite, health and goals.

Limits and next step: Suitability, timing and outcome depend on the clinical findings. Alternatives, maintenance and referral needs are reviewed before treatment.
