IV Sedation
IV Sedation Dentistry at The Avenues Family Dental
At The Avenues Family Dental, we understand that dental visits can be a source of anxiety for some patients. That’s why we offer IV sedation dentistry – a safe, effective solution to help you relax and feel comfortable during your dental treatment.
What Is IV Sedation Dentistry?
IV sedation, also known as intravenous sedation, involves administering a sedative directly into your bloodstream to achieve a deeply relaxed state. Unlike general anaesthesia, IV sedation allows you to remain conscious and responsive, but you’ll feel calm and may have little to no memory of the procedure.
Who Can Benefit from IV Sedation?
IV sedation is ideal for patients who:
- Experience dental anxiety or fear.
- Require complex or lengthy dental treatments.
- Have a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth.
- Struggle with a strong gag reflex.
- Have difficulty sitting still for extended periods.
What to Expect During IV Sedation
At The Avenues Family Dental, our experienced team ensures your safety and comfort throughout the sedation process:
- Pre-Treatment Consultation: We’ll discuss your medical history and assess your suitability for IV sedation.
- Administering the Sedative: A small needle is used to introduce the sedative, which takes effect quickly. You’ll feel deeply relaxed but remain aware enough to respond to instructions.
- Monitoring Your Comfort: Your vital signs are closely monitored during the procedure to ensure your safety.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you’ll need someone to accompany you home as the effects of sedation wear off.
