<\/p>\n

IV Sedation: How It Works<\/span><\/h3>\n

IV sedation is administered through a vein in the crook of the elbow or in the back of the hand. Because the medicine goes directly into the bloodstream, its effects take over immediately — faster than with other sedation methods. Under IV sedation, you won\u2019t be completely unconscious, though you may doze off periodically throughout your procedure. Mostly, you\u2019ll be completely relaxed and removed from the sights, smells, and sounds of what\u2019s going on around you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Because IV sedation offers a deeper level of relaxation, we\u2019ll be carefully monitoring your vital signs while you\u2019re under anesthesia. Our team of experts will have an eye on your heart rate and breath to ensure your complete safety until the treatment is complete and the IV has been removed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patients undergoing IV sedation should arrange an escort to and from their dental appointment, as its effects may not fully wear off for several hours after the IV is removed.<\/span><\/p>\n

IV Sedation: Who It\u2019s For<\/span><\/h3>\n

As we\u2019ve stated, IV sedation is a great option for patients dealing with a significant fear or anxiety associated with receiving dental treatment. But its applications go beyond soothing anxiety — it\u2019s also a great option for those who have physical difficulty sitting still for long periods of time at all. Patients with disabilities or muscular pain often can\u2019t relax in the procedure chair for long enough to receive proper treatment, but IV sedation provides great help in these cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, IV sedation is an effective option for special needs patients who may not understand the need for visiting the dentist, or that they must remain still during treatment. Patients who wish to have long treatments or multiple procedures completed in just one visit to the dentist can also benefit from the use of IV sedation.<\/span><\/p>\n

IV Sedation: Side Effects<\/span><\/h3>\n

The side effects of IV sedation are usually brief and mild. Some patients experience nausea or sleepiness throughout their recovery. Others report temporary amnesia, not remembering anything from their procedure — an effect those dealing with dental anxiety often consider to be a good thing.<\/span><\/p>\n
