IV Sedation
IV deep sedation is typically administered intravenously and allows most patients to fall asleep, yet be easily awakened. If dental care makes you nervous or anxious, this may be an option for you to comfortably be treated. IV sedation is a safe form of anesthesia because drugs are adminstered directly into the bloodstream in a controlled dose to take effect almost immediately. Unlike taking medication by mouth, the drugs don’t enter your digestive system and liver first for breakdown before taking effect.
