Wish you or a loved one didn’t mind going to the dentist? Unfortunately, many children and adults have dental anxiety. Much of this anxiety comes from a previous painful experience, or a strong gag reflex, a difficult time sitting still through a procedure, or special needs can make sitting through a dental appointment unbearable.

If you make excuses to not make it to your dental appointment, then IV sedation may be for you.

Why should you consider IV sedation for your next dental appointment?

IV sedation will make your dental appointment go by faster

One of the top reasons why so many people are choosing IV sedation, is because it makes their dentist appointment go by very quickly, even if you have long or several procedures being done. You will be very relaxed and comfortable, while the amnesia effects of the medication take affect.

Before you know, the appointment will be over and you can catch up on years of missed dental appointments.

With IV sedation, you won’t even mind going to the dentist.

If you are anything like me, and dread going to the dentist, IV sedation can change your entire perspective. You will be surprised just how comfortable a dentist appointment can be.

Have several procedures done in just one appointment.

Just imagine all the dental treatments completed in a single appointment. No need to keep going back to the dentist, which can be worth its weight in gold. “IV sedation, also known as conscious sedation, is a sort of middle ground and it doesn’t fully put you to sleep. It does make you less aware of what is going on around you during your procedure or treatment,” Colgate.
