Intravenous (IV) Sedation

In dental treatments, some procedures might necessitate a more profound level of sedation, particularly for patients who experience anxiety. When other sedation techniques aren't sufficiently potent, IV sedation serves as an effective alternative. In this process, an anti-anxiety medication is delivered directly into the bloodstream while the procedure is ongoing, thereby ensuring optimal efficiency and achieving an advanced state of relaxation. Your child is likely to have little to no recollection of the event due to the short-term amnesia induced by the sedative.

Much like oral sedation, intricate procedures appear to pass more swiftly, and a more significant amount of treatment can usually be performed within a single visit. We always ensure that your child is thoroughly supervised for their safety. Given the enhanced monitoring necessary through IV sedation, we cooperate closely with specialists who are trained and prepared to secure a safe environment. We are more than willing to discuss your child’s sedation requirements and devise a tailored plan.
