IV Sedation
During IV sedation, the patient remains conscious and able to respond to the dentist’s instructions.
They are in a deeply relaxed state and may not remember the details of the procedure. The level of sedation can be adjusted by the dentist throughout the procedure to ensure the patient remains comfortable and relaxed. IV sedation is typically used for patients who experience severe anxiety or fear about dental procedures, have a strong gag reflex, or require extensive or complex dental work. It can also be used for patients with special needs who may have difficulty sitting still for long periods of time.
IV sedation is administered by a qualified dental professional who has received specialized training in sedation dentistry.
It is considered safe when administered by a trained professional, but like any medical procedure, there are some risks and potential complications associated with IV sedation, such as low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, and allergic reactions.
It is important to discuss your options for sedation with your dentist and to provide a complete medical history to ensure that IV sedation is safe and appropriate for you. Your dentist can help you determine if IV sedation is the right choice for your individual needs and can provide guidance on how to prepare for the procedure.
