Dental Country was born out of a simple yet profound idea: to bridge the gap between dental professionals and the public by providing an all-encompassing platform for dental knowledge. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Sean Myran, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dental Country started as a response to the growing need for a reliable and comprehensive online resource where both dental professionals and everyday people could find trustworthy, accurate, and well-researched information about dentistry and oral health.
Dr. Myran had witnessed first-hand the complexities faced by dental professionals, from managing successful practices to staying up-to-date with the latest dental technology and products. At the same time, he noticed how challenging it was for patients to find accurate, digestible information about dental procedures, oral hygiene products, and how to choose the right dentist. This dual perspective inspired him to create Dental Country, an online space that could cater to both audiences.
What started as a small blog quickly grew into a multifaceted platform with a wide range of dental resources—from practice management tips to in-depth product reviews and educational articles on oral health. Over the years, Dental Country has expanded its offerings to meet the evolving needs of dental professionals and patients alike.

Totally out. No memory of anything
Totally out, snored all the way through apparently
I was awake for some of it and remember yet it was not painful at all.
I got IV general anesthesia so I was asleep, asleep. Lol.
I used to have sedation for 32 years up until this treatment. This was with my own dentist for any work, fillings, teeth removal, even just a clean as I hated the dentist. Sometimes I would wake up but no pain felt, just knew they were working on my teeth. Sometimes I could feel it but I wasn’t really there, but the time I got home and went to sleep and woke up again, I didn’t remember a thing. Because of all the different experiences of sedation I chose to be awake for all my work with implants, grafts and sinus lift. , bizarre really but its always a personal choice. Mine is about my severe medical anxiety, fear and trust. Everyone is different and you shouldn’t feel a thing. You might remember little things but not until after you sleep it off, you shouldn’t feel any pain at all.
I had iv sedation last week. I knew what was going on, I could communicate with the dentist he kept asking me stuff I was numbed so I didn’t feel a thing.
Time seemed to go so fast. When I got home after 10.h hours at the dentist I was just thirsty and tired.
Honestly id do it again like that, so much better
If you have sedation you can usually respond to commands but don’t usually remember anything!
Yes I was told a few times to breath in and out, I felt nothing and could hear nothing.
I remember nothing until I was woken up…
There’s twilight sedation, general, and another kind I don’t know the name of. With twilight you’re semi conscious I think and don’t usually remember much. I had the other one and it was pretty useless – I was conscious throughout and remembered everything
I don’t remember anything. I wake up thinking it has not started yet every time. Done it over 5 times.
I remember the IV and then a few seconds later I felt woozy, I heard voices in the background but have no memory.
I was out! 😂
Out like a light 💡
Out cold. But they might use an amnesiac so you could be up dancing around the office and you’d never know.
I had another operation under full sedation and the doc told me I fought them pretty well. I didn’t remember a thing.
Then I watched an operation — a pump insertion — where they had they had they guy on the edge of sleep. He talked nonsense and they talked nonsense back to him.
I had twilight IV sedation. I was kind of aware but remember very little of it. A few commands, a little pulling and hearing them talk a little.
Out! Didn’t feel a thing! Next thing I know he was saying it’s done . !
I got up early, went in, said hello, took a 4 hr nap and woke up as they were putting things away.
Then they fitted the temporary dentures and let me go home to sleep it off.
I was asleep for one THR and woke up during surgery for the other. I was so doped up I didn’t care what they were doing. No pain until the epidural wore off.
Would you recommend sedation!! Rather than injection!!! For implants. As you spend so much time in the chair.
You are knocked out you wake up feeling like u just went to sleep lol
I asked the guy this same question before they hooked me up to the iv and he said some people remember a little and some people don’t remember at all. I remember like a release of pressure and I remember them telling me it was almost over during the impacted one but I didnt know what was going on and it felt like 5 minutes when really it was 45 minutes.
I remember nothing I was out
I had what’s called “twilight sedation” and the last thing I remember was the iv being put in and told that I’d start to feel sleepy. After that, I woke up when it was over and felt like it had been a couple mins. I don’t remember anything and wasn’t aware of what was happening even though I was still somewhat awake. I was out for several hours but it didn’t seem that way to me. I’d definitely use iv sedation again if I needed any type of procedure and it was offered.
They used Propofol and I woke up a couple of times and I am unusual in that I remember what they were saying….
Is any kind of anesthesia or sedation expensive? I been told they are
Juan M R. yes expensive. At least a few thousand
Thanks guys, good to know 😒😑
Juan M R. we paid 250.00 for the first 15 minutes of sedation. 175.00 every 15 minutes after that. My daughter was sedated 7 hours the first time and we aren’t done yet. So yes very expensive
I remember everything having the top done, fully aware of what was happening. Experienced pain when they started the bottom and I think they increased the sedation, don’t remember anything having the bottom done. I guess it depends on the person and the amount of sedation you are given.
Jamie C. oh no that must have been traumatic for you.
I was completely out. The anesthesiologist talked to me until I stopped responding lol. He was super nice.
I didn’t remember anything, but they told me I woke up during and was trying to fight the anesthesiologist off. I also peed. 😬
Dana C. i wore a poise pad because i was so afraid of that happening
Rose C. I should have worn Depends lol.
I started fighting during mine. I felt like I couldn’t breathe & was trying very hard to TELL them I couldn’t. At my follow up the doctor said they always start to bring patients out of it as they’re stitching up so they won’t sleep another 15 or so minutes when done. But he said on my next procedure they will crank it down so I don’t experience this. Also said the sensation that I can’t breathe is totally normal since they have my mouth jacked open (I have a very small opening, which makes it difficult) & they have gauze & stuff at the back of my mouth.
Yes your completely asleep
Aware of some stuff but not pain
