    Abstract:
    Fear and avoidance of dental treatment are major deterrents to oral health. Sedation can be used to control both the patient's fear and anxiety so that proper dental care can be provided for these patients. The purpose of this article is to discuss the use of sedation in dentistry and to provide a recommendation on the requirements and medico-legal aspects of sedation for the practitioner interested in incorporating sedation into their practice.
