For children and adults who have anxiety about going to the dentist, there is relief. Having any type of dental procedure done can be frightening. Whether it is several fillings, a root canal or tooth extraction, the sights and sounds can be overwhelming, no matter how old you are.
Nitrous Oxide or Laughing Gas just isn’t enough and those huge shots they give to numb you, make you more anxious.
Don’t Panic! IV Sedation is a way to find relief and get all you dental work done in just one appointment.
Intravenous sedation provides anti-anxiety medications direction into your bloodstream. It allows you to remain awake during the entire procedure, but you won’t feel or even remember anything. In fact, you will feel like you are asleep, which is why it is sometime referred to as “twilight” or “sleep” dentistry. You will still be able to answer any questions the dentist may have.
It IV Sedation Safe?
To ensure safety, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist CRNA, is the best way to go. They are specifically trained in IV sedation. This allows the dentist to concentrate on the dental procedures, while the nurse anesthetist constantly monitors the vitals, breathing heart rate. AT Blue Sky Solutions we bring state of the art equipment to your dental office for hospital quality sedation. We also tailor each treatment individually to the patients specific needs.
How IV Sedation Works
As soon as the patient receives IV sedation, time will seem to pass quickly. An IV is placed usually on the top of the hand, and stays there during the procedure. The medication can be stopped or the dosage can be quickly changed at any time to suit specific needs.
IV sedation for dental work is a great option to overcome stress, anxiety, special needs or a disability. Contact Blue Sky Solutions for more information and to make an appointment.
