Sedation Dentistry

After reading Robbo's adventures in escaping from dentist visits earlier this morning I'd remembered I was going to post a public service announcement regarding Sedation Dentistry.

If you're wondering about Sedation Dentistry :

Sedation dentistry allows patients to become drowsy and, in most cases, sleep right through their dental procedures. The actual process involves patients taking an analgesic or sedative about an hour before their procedure. The sedative or analgesic can sometimes be administered in a pill form, while other times it will be administered intravenously. When the medication kicks in the patient usually becomes extremely relaxed and drifts into a sleep-like state. When they become coherent after surgery most patients have no memory of their procedure at all.

The only side effect of Sedation Dentistry I've noticed is that my underwear magically get turned around backwards during the visit. It really wouldn't have been so bad if I had worn something other than my lucky thong. Let me tell you that was a tad bit uncomfortable.

Maybe I'll purchase a nice new set of manties for my next sedation dentistry visit.
