IV Sedation Offers Anxious Patients an Easy Way to Get the CareThey Need

Now your dentist offers a “fear-free” option for dental treatments called Intravenous (IV) Sedation. IV sedation is a great choice for patients who are anxious or fearful of dental procedures, as well as those who need to undergo extensive dental work.

The patient is administered IV medication that produces a drowsy and relaxed feeling. As a result, the patient can remain completely calm and sedated throughout their treatment. Although patients are not completely unconscious, many sleep right through their dental appointment, and few patients have any memory of their treatment.
