Will I Need Someone To Bring Me Home After My Appointment?
Curious about oral conscious sedation? It requires a designated driver for your safety. Learn why this step is crucial in this video with Dr. Bivona.
One of the most common questions we receive about oral conscious sedation, which involves taking a pill before your appointment, is whether you need someone to accompany you. The answer is absolutely, positively, 100% yes. It’s essential that you have a designated driver before you even take your medication, as it can make you very drowsy. You need someone to be with you when you take the pill, drive you to your appointment, and then drive you home afterward. I always emphasize to my patients that having a driver is not just recommended, it’s necessary when undergoing oral conscious sedation. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.
