If you are driving or caring for someone who is receiving IV sedation at Comfortable Dentistry in Coral Gables, FL, your support plays an important role in their safety. The patient you are caring for might come out of their procedure feeling drowsy for several hours after their appointment, so they will need a responsible adult to drive them home safely.
What Should I Expect After the Appointment?
It's normal after receiving IV sedation to feel sleepy, relaxed, or slightly unsteady. This is why patients should not drive or operate machinery for the rest of the day.
As a caregiver or driver, you should:
- Drive the patient to and from their appointment.
- Stay with them as they recover.
- Encourage them to rest and avoid strenuous activities.
- Help make sure they take any prescribed medications as directed.
We will review aftercare instructions with you before the patient leaves the office and answer any questions you may have.
