IV sedation is A Comfortable Solution for Dental Anxiety

 


Intravenous (IV) sedation is a method where a sedative is delivered directly into your bloodstream through a vein. This technique is ideal for patients who feel anxious about dental procedures or are undergoing more complex treatments.

IV sedation offers a safe and effective way to help you feel calm and at ease while remaining conscious and responsive throughout your appointment. Our experienced team will monitor your comfort levels closely, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish.

What is intravenous (IV) sedation?

IV sedation is when a sedative is given into a vein. If you are nervous about having dental treatment or you are having a procedure which may be more complex, intravenous (IV) sedation is an effective and safe treatment. It is an ideal way of helping you to relax if you are nervous about dental treatment.

What are the benefits?

While under IV sedation, you will feel deeply relaxed, but you will still be able to understand and respond to requests from the dentist. You may be unaware of the operation and this form of treatment is ideal for patients who wish to avoid the noise and vibration of the drill.

Are there any risks?

IV sedation is safe when it is supervised or carried out by a specially trained dentist. IV sedation has four main effects:
• It will reduce your anxiety and make you feel relaxed.
• It will make you feel sleepy.
• It will make you less aware of the procedure.
• It will result in partial – or total loss of memory of the procedure.

Do I need to prepare for IV sedation?

• Take your routine medicines at the usual times, unless advised otherwise.
• Have a light meal1-2 hours before you attend.
• Do not take alcohol or recreational drugs including cannabis, 48 hours before your treatment.
• Bring a responsible adult with you. This escort must be over the age of 18 and personally known to you. They must arrive and remain in the waiting room. They must be able to escort you home and care for you for the rest of the day.
• Do not bring children or babies with you to your appointment. We will not undertake treatment if a child/baby comes with you or your escort.
• Sedation is not possible if you are pregnant, so be sure to tell us.
• Nursing mothers cannot breastfeed for 12 hours after sedation.
• It would be helpful to arrive with your escort promptly and report to the reception 10 minutes before your appointment. If you are more than 20 minutes late treatment may not be carried out.

What happens after IV sedation?

You will need to stay in our recovery area until you are considered ready to leave the hospital. Recovery usually takes about an hour but can be longer.

The effects of sedation can last up to 12 hours, for this time rest at home and:
• Do not travel alone – travel home with your escort, by car if possible.
• Do not drive or ride a bicycle or a motorcycle.
• Do not use machinery.
• Do not drink alcohol.
• Do not return to work or sign legal documents or carry out any financial transactions.
• Do not care for others.
• Do not use social media.
