If you’re having a tooth extraction, it may be straightforward or surgical. A tooth not encroaching on others and having a straight path to extraction may be considered a simple procedure. But an impacted tooth, or one that is near the roots of neighbouring teeth, may require a surgical approach.
In either case, we ensure the treatment area is numb before starting work. Some patients opt for dental sedation in Vancouver for complex extractions or if they feel anxious.
Driving Yourself Home
In some cases, it’s okay to drive yourself home after a tooth extraction. However, if you opt for sedation dentistry, you must arrange transportation with a friend or loved one.
We use IV sedation, which relaxes patients almost to the point of sleep. This feeling does not go away immediately, so we encourage no driving on the day of treatment and no critical life decisions. Instead, it would be best if you had someone drive you home so you can spend the remainder of the day resting.
