Things to Prepare for with Sedation Dentistry

In order to prepare for sedation dentistry there are a few things that one should do, even before the day of the oral sedation dentistry Highlands Ranch appointment. For instance, the patient should make sure that he is hydrated. That means drinking a lot of water the day before. This is important because on the day of the procedure the patient will not be allowed to eat or drink. So, they have to stay hydrated. Also, patients should make sure that they do not have a full stomach on the day of the procedure. This can cause nausea in some patients from the floating sensation that the sedation gives. So, they should avoid eating anything when they go to sleep the day before.
Another important thing patients should do when going in for sedation dentistry is to wear comfortable clothes. That’s because most patients tend to fall asleep during their sedation. And they should be able to sleep comfortably. That means they should avoid any restrictive clothing, belts or ties. They should also avoid anything scratchy, silky or easily wrinkled. Also they should make sure that the shoes they are wearing are comfortable. Sleeping in a chair, even if sedated, can sometimes make you want to stretch. And they should be able to do so unrestricted.
