How can your protect yourself from sexual assualt while under sedation?
Amanda D. – New Jersey
Amanda,
Let me assume from your question that you’re worried about the dentist assaulting you while you’re under sedation. Dental sedation isn’t the same as surgical sedation.
You are conscious. You’re just pain free. All your protective reflexes are active.
However, if you’re still concerned, you can request the hygienist stay present.
