For those who have a difficult time going to the dentist, IV sedation can be life changing. Not only will it make you overcome all your fear and anxiety, it allows you to catch up on several years of missed dental appointments.
But what about the sedation, what should you expect?
You should expect to have an anesthesiologist administer the sedation through an IV. This makes all the difference, it allows you to breathe and move normally, as well respond to commands. Throughout the procedure the anesthesiologist will decrease or increase the level of sedation based on the situation. This allows you to have several treatments done just one appointment.
What does IV sedation feel like?
That’s what so great about IV sedation, you don’t feel anything. When the dentist is finished, it will feel like just a couple of minutes have past. But really it could have been hours and you didn’t even notice. No pain, No anxiety! And all your dental problems are gone! Which is why so many adults and children are turning to IV sedation.
Will I remember the experience?
Another benefit from IV sedation, you won’t remember much if any of the procedure. This means all the feelings of anxiety, the sound of the drill, the lights, won’t be remembered.
Oral health is very serious. Research shows a direct connection between the health of a person’s teeth and gums to their overall well being, from heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer, rheumatoid arthritis, and certain cancer
According to Life Hack
“Studies estimate that 1 in 10 adults experience a strong fear of dentists. Their fears are so strong that they actually avoid dentist visits. Dentist Dr. Jeremy Rourke, with over 25 years of experience, said in an interview: “Unfortunately, dental-phobia is something we see lead [to] thousands of dollars worth of care annually that could have been avoided if people came in more often.”
“If you experience fear or anxiety when faced with the idea of going to the dentist, there’s good news for you. You can tackle the fear head-on for the benefit of your health.
To ensure all safety precautions are taken, it is important to have a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA perform your IV sedation.
