IV Sedation Dentistry
How Sedation Dentistry Works
Before the procedure starts, you will receive drugs intravenously. Unlike taking medications orally, this method ensures a much quicker delivery through the bloodstream and affords the doctor better control and a more precise measure of how much sedation is being administered. Devices are also placed on the patient to monitor and manage breathing, heart rate, blood oxygen level, and blood pressure throughout the procedure. Sedation dentistry is a great way to achieve dental treatment if you have any dental anxiety, gag reflex, severe dental phobia, problems with local anesthesia and any medical or psychological condition requiring anesthesia. There are various types of IV sedation also known as sleep dentistry. You will be comfortably asleep during the procedure and not aware as the monitored in an extremely safe hospital designed environment.
