How does IV Dental Sedation work?
Intravenous sedation induces deep relaxation, with a sense of disconnection from your dental treatment. You’re still awake but afterwards may feel as if you’ve slept through the procedure and have no recollection of it.
The medication in IV sedation is an anti-anxiety drug, not a painkiller, so you may also need a local anaesthetic for some treatments.
What problems can Dental Sedation fix?
Addresses dental anxiety, discomfort, and gag reflexes, enabling smooth and efficient dental treatments.
- Addresses dental anxiety and fear, enabling patients to receive necessary dental care
- Manages discomfort and gag reflexes during procedures
- Facilitates completion of complex or lengthy treatments
- Improves patient experience and satisfaction with dental care
- Allows for more efficient and effective dental treatment
- Enhances overall oral health and well-being by promoting regular dental visits
It works fast, minimises discomfort, and you’ll probably remember little if anything about the procedure afterwards.
IV sedation also allows more extensive treatment to be carried out in a single appointment.
