There are many adults and children living in New Hampshire who avoid going to the dentist at any cost. Whether it’s anxiety, fear, disability, or a medical condition, keeping them from getting the dental care they need, it can have serious health consequences.

This growing condition is why many dentists are now recommending IV sedation.

More and More Dentist Agree, IV Sedation is The Solution

Sedation dentistry allows the patient to be relaxed and comfortable throughout the treatment. You won’t feel any pain during the procedure, you probably won’t remember much of the appointment. Several procedures can be accomplished in just one visit.

Just imagine, you go into the dentist, sit in the chair, when you wake up, years missed dental visits are now all caught up.

How Does IV Sedation Work in Dentistry

A sedative is administered intravenously through a vein, which is why the medication works so quickly. Safety is a priority, it is recommended to have a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA, perform the IV sedation. This allows the dentist to concentrate on the procedure and the CRNA to adjust the level of sedation to reduce risk of complications and monitor all the vital signs.

Benefits of IV Sedation

A higher level of sedation, compared to inhalation and oral sedation

The medication starts to work immediately, other medication can take an hour to take effect.

Recovery times tend to be shorter than other types of sedation

Makes dental procedures easier for adults and children. Diminishes gag reflex and makes treatments easier for those who have trouble sitting for a long period of time.

Patients remain conscious and they are able to communicate with the dentist if necessary.

Avoid the risk, complication, and the cost of  general anesthesia.

For someone who needs several dental procedures, IV sedation is a good option.
