Some can, but some can only be managed. These strategies can help you allay your fears and anxiety:

•Distract yourself with sights and sounds, or even music
•Take a break if necessary

What can I expect after taking sedatives?
Taking dental sedation can have effects that will last for a few hours. This will make you so relaxed you won't be in your right mind, and you won't be able to drive or operate machinery for the day.
