Is Sedation Dentistry Safe in Port Coquitlam?

Book Appointment

Yes, sedation dentistry is considered safe at Diamond Dental Centre for patients who are good candidates. The clinic prioritizes patient safety by conducting a detailed review of each patient’s complete medical history to ensure they are in generally stable health, typically classified as ASA I or II, before administering any sedation.

During procedures, the dental team follows rigorous safety standards established by the Canadian Dental Association. To ensure constant protection, they continuously monitor a patient’s vital signs throughout the appointment, including:

  • Oxygen saturation
  • Blood pressure
  • Pulse rate

Additionally, patients are provided with clear post-procedure instructions, such as the requirement to have a responsible adult escort them home and the need to avoid driving or operating machinery for 24 hours while the sedative effects wear off.
