There is nothing worse than having a toothache over the holidays, but going to the dentist in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, can be very stressful.
Now is a great time to take care of all your oral health care needs you’ve been putting off because of anxiety or fear. It could be the pain of the procedure, needles, that unique smell of a dentist office, PTSD, not able to sit still for extended period of time, or have a disability or special needs, that is keeping you from going to the dentist. But don’t worry, there is an easy solution.
How Does IV Sedation In Dentistry Work?
IV sedation is administered through a small needle inserted into the vein in your arm or hand. You will enter a relaxed, dream-like state you will have no recollection of your dental procedure and minimal to no discomfort.
You will be calm and comfortable through the entire visit. Before you know it, several treatments have been completed, and years of dental neglect is erased.
Your teeth will look amazing for all those holiday pictures.
To ensure the process goes smoothly, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, who is highly trained in IV sedation will be there to ensure the proper amount of medication is administered, and to monitor your heart rate and vital signs.
This way the dentist will be able to focus solely on the treatment. Not having to divide their attention means a higher level of safety and quality.
What Can You Expect?
While you won’t fall totally asleep, you won’t be fully conscious either. You won’t realize what is going on, but will be able to respond to verbal questions and commands.
Another benefit of sedation dentistry, you can have multiple procedures done in one visit. It is an easy way to catch up on years of skipped dental appointments.
If you feel you or a loved one can benefit from sedation dentistry, talk to your dentist. Then contact Blue Sky Anesthesia Associates, we bring hospital level sedation to your dentist office. Never compromise on safety.
