I’m having a procedure which requires dental sedation. I’m seriously concerned that I’ll do something humiliating or say something I’ll regret later. Is there a way to prevent that?

Danielle,
You’re not alone in your concern of humiliating yourselves. Many people feel they’ll act silly or worse, hostile, under the influence of dental sedation. But the truth is few people really do unless spurred on to behave that way.
The sedation formula doesn’t change your personality. It’s considered quite safe. In fact, most people visiting the sedation dentist are quite care-free. Instead of getting silly, you’ll be completely relaxed. Most patients sleep through the procedure.
The important thing is for you to bring someone you trust to your appointment to care for you. If you trust your caregiver, nothing should go amiss. Instead of worrying about the appointment. Look at it as an opportunity to get some rest in. If you’re like most people, it will a much needed rest.
