Oral Sedation and IV Sedation

Sedation dentistry eases anxieties and phobias, helping you remain calm and comfortable during dental procedures. Because your dentist can often work faster when you’re under sedation, it can result in fewer appointments. Finally, many people have so much dental anxiety that they avoid going to the dentist altogether. Sedation dentistry helps you feel more comfortable so you can receive the care you need and deserve.  In our office we are pleased to provide sedation by our Board Certified Anesthesiologist to treat :

  • Dental anxiety.
  • A fear of visiting the dentist.
  • An overly sensitive gag reflex.
  • A fear of needles (aichmophobia).
  • Extreme teeth sensitivity.

Oral sedation dentistry is a medical procedure involving the administration of oral sedative medication, generally to facilitate a dental procedure and reduce patients’ fear and anxiety related to the experience. Drugs which can be used for sedation include diazepam, triazolam, zaleplon, lorazepam and hydroxyxine.

IV sedation dentistry is the deepest form of conscious sedation available in a dental office setting. Your healthcare provider delivers sedative medications directly to your bloodstream through an IV line. During your procedure, your dental anesthesiologist monitors your heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. They can adjust your dosage at any point and can use reversal medications if necessary. Most people who receive IV sedation dentistry fall asleep and have little to no memory of their treatment when they wake up. This option is best for people with severe dental anxiety or those who are undergoing lengthy procedures.

It is imperative that you have an escort with you at your dental appointment as you will be feeling drowsy and relaxed. After the completion of your dental treatment, we advise you to go home and sleep off the effects of the medication.

You should not operate a motor vehicle for 24 hours after receiving oral conscious sedation or IV sedation.
