Intravenous Conscious Sedation
Are you in desperate need of dental care, but too afraid to go to the dentist? Are you facing extensive treatment which you cannot face without being "out"? You are not alone. For our patients who need that extra help to relax, we offer intravenous conscious sedation.
Intravenous conscious sedation is a technique in which an intravenous sedative medication (similar to Valium) is injected into a vein in the arm, to help relax a patient that is anxious. This is a good technique for patients that have mild to moderate anxiety or fear of dental procedures. This technique is also advisable for adult patients undergoing surgical extraction or who require a great deal of dental treatment and wish to have more treatment completed in fewer visits. Our experienced team will make you completely comfortable, and will monitor you closely while you are under sedation. Patients treated with conscious sedation usually have little to no memory of the dental procedure being performed.
If you feel you are a candidate for conscious sedation dentistry and do not want to ignore your oral health any longer, please speak with a member of our team. We will provide you with the information necessary to smile with no fear.
