IV dental sedation has been a life changer for those who hate going to the dentist. It is easy to be overcome with fear and anxiety just thinking about going to the dentist. You’re not the only one, which is why so many people are in the situation of needing several procedures.
IV sedation can help you get caught up on years of missed dental work in just one appointment and without any anxiety!
Understanding What To Expect During IV Sedation Can Help Ease Your Fears
What Can You Expect During IV Sedation?
For the highest level of safety, this type of anesthesia requires the patient to be monitored by a nurse anesthesiologist. The medication will be administered through an IV, which means it will take into effect very quickly. Unlike general anesthesia, you will be able to move, breathe, and respond to questions. The nurse anesthesiologist will monitor all your vital signs, as well as decrease and increase the medication as necessary.
A ‘Semi-Awake’ State Is To Be Expected
You can expect to feel very relaxed, without any anxiety. You will feel very sleepy, but you will not be asleep. This type of sedation is easier on your body than general anesthesia. Allowing you to feel like yourself in no time.
Time Will Feel Like It Speeds Up
Even if your dentist performs several procedures to get you caught up on missed appointments, you won’t feel the time. In fact, when everything is finished, you will feel like just a few minutes passed.
Little To No Memory Of The Appointment Is Expected
This is definitely a major benefit, especially if you have anxiety about the dentist. If you have any memory of the appointment it will be hazy. It will even make it feel like a good experience.
This is why more and more patients are turning to IV sedation to overcome their fear of the dentist. It makes it a safe and easy way to achieve healthy teeth and gums and the smile you’ve always wanted.
