Get In Touch About Intravenous Sedation
Quality Affordable Dentistry offers intravenous sedation treatment to help patients feel relaxed and comfortable during dental procedures. This type of sedation is good for people who are anxious about dental visits or have a low pain tolerance. Intravenous sedation, often called IV sedation, involves administering a sedative through a vein, usually in the arm. This makes the patient feel very calm and sometimes even sleepy, though they remain awake and can respond to the dentist.
IV sedation is very effective because it works quickly and the dentist can control the level of sedation throughout the procedure. It helps in reducing anxiety and discomfort, making dental visits less stressful for patients. It’s especially useful for longer or more complex dental treatments.
Here is Our 3-Step Process For How Quality Affordable Dentistry administers intravenous sedation:
Step 1: Consultation and Assessment
Before the procedure, the dentist will have a consultation with the patient to understand their medical history, current medications, and overall health. This is to ensure that IV sedation is safe for them. The dentist will explain how the sedation works and what the patient can expect.
Step 2: Administering the Sedation
On the day of the procedure, the patient will be seated comfortably. The dentist or a trained professional will insert a small needle into a vein in the patient’s arm or hand. Through this needle, the sedative medication is slowly given. The patient will start to feel relaxed and calm almost immediately.
Step 3: Monitoring and Dental Treatment
During the dental procedure, the dentist will closely monitor the patient’s vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, to ensure their safety. The dentist can adjust the level of sedation as needed to keep the patient comfortable. After the treatment is completed, the patient will be observed until they are fully awake and can go home, usually with a friend or family member.
IV sedation makes dental visits easier and less stressful, helping patients get the care they need comfortably.
