There has been much discussion about IV sedation when it comes to dentistry. Is it safe? Does it really help those who have anxiety about going to the dentist and those with special needs? Will I really not feel anything?
There has been much debate in recent years about the safety of IV sedation.
Safety of sedation comes into question when the dentist or oral surgeon performs both the dental procedure and the anesthesia, at the same time. Doing too much at one time can compromise safety.
Patient safety should always be the top priority. Which is why a highly trained and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), administering the IV sedation, monitor every breath and vitals during the procedure, while the dentist performs the treatment, is the safest way to go.

Does IV sedation really help with anxiety and those with special needs?
Many times traditional dental numbing medication just isn’t enough for those with anxiety, a disability, a gag reflex, or just can’t sit in the dental chair for a long period of time. IV sedation can help, while you are not unconscious or even asleep, you won’t feel any pain or even remember much of the appointment.
When the treatment is over, no matter how long the appointment was, you will feel refreshed, without any recollection of any drilling or even sitting in that chair for an extended period of time. The patient will be able to cooperate and respond to the dentist.
If you or a loved one feels uncomfortable about going to the dentist, has anxiety or special needs, it is worth asking your dentist about IV sedation.
