What is IV Sedation?
IV sedation involves a medication that’s administered directly into your bloodstream before your procedure begins. Even though patients experience short-term amnesia, preventing them from remembering much of their visit, you’ll remain completely conscious. This allows our team to ask you questions during your appointment and follow any directions we give. Until we stop the IV from administering the sedative, you’ll remain relaxed and in a sleepy state. You’ll need to have a trusted friend or family member pick you up from your visit since it takes a while for the effects to wear off.
Who is a Good Candidate for IV Sedation?
IV sedation is typically recommended for patients who suffer from a more severe form of dental phobia. There are also other traits that make some patients good candidates for this form of sedation, including:
- The need for extensive dental work.
- Had a traumatic experience with a dentist.
- Have a strong gag reflex that makes it difficult to sit still during procedures.
- Has difficulty staying still in the treatment chair.
- Doesn’t become numb from local anesthesia.
Before you visit our office for your treatment, we’ll walk you through the IV sedation process and help you decide whether it’s the right choice for you.
What are the Benefits of IV Sedation?
When administered by a trusted sedation dentist, IV sedation can provide patients with a variety of benefits. Some of these include:
- Complete comfort during your treatment so you don’t have to experience pain.
- Flexible sedation that can be altered throughout your visit by our dental team who will be monitoring your vitals.
- Fast-acting sedation so you experience less anxiety.
- Remain conscious and responsive during your treatment.
- Faster treatment time since you’ll be relaxed and still.
If you have any questions or concerns about the process, don’t hesitate to contact our office.
