Is sedation dentistry an option for adults?

Is sedation dentistry an option for adults? Are there certain qualifiers or disqualifies to receive it?

Sure, if you want it. I have a dentist in the family and he talked about how some patients wanted up to full on general, so he had an anesthesiologist he worked with who would come in to the office. For most people as long as you can keep the anxiety down there really isn't a reason to go beyond local.

If you do you will be paying for it, likely out of pocket, and you will be taking on all the risks too.

Qualifiers/disqualifiers would be the same as sedation or general anesthesia in any other setting.

N2O sedation works wonders for my bad gag reflex. My dentist knows its easier for everyone if I'm 'flying high' on the gas before any numbing shots or drills.
