Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

  • General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Offers nitrous oxide and IV sedation for a pain-free/relaxing experience; not described as asleep/unaware (conscious sedation) [hcmc-dental-sedation]
