Can sedation be used during oral surgery in Atlanta?

At Tend, we want you to feel informed about your options, so your dental team can discuss sedation dentistry and whether an available approach may be appropriate based on your treatment needs and health history.

How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. An evaluation can help determine whether they’re developing normally or contributing to dental problems. At Tend, your dental team can examine your mouth and use X-rays when appropriate to help determine whether wisdom teeth removal should be considered.
-
What does follow-up care look like after oral surgery at Tend?
Follow-up care varies based on the procedure and your individual recovery. Your Tend team will give you personalized aftercare instructions and explain what to expect as you heal. If a follow-up visit is recommended or you have questions during recovery, our team is there to help you navigate the next steps.

What happens during an oral surgery evaluation at Tend?
Your Tend team will start by learning about your dental problem, health history, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. Your evaluation may also include an exam and appropriate dental imaging. From there, we’ll explain what we find in plain language and help you understand whether oral surgery or another treatment approach may be right for you.
-
Will I need someone to come with me for oral surgery?
Possibly. Whether you need someone to accompany you depends on the procedure, medications or sedation used, and your provider’s instructions. Your Tend team will let you know ahead of time if you’ll need someone to drive you home or assist you afterward, giving you time to make arrangements.
