IV Sedation Dentistry In Dallas, Texas

IV sedation dentistry (general anesthesia) is best if you’re very afraid of dental treatment (to the point that you’ve avoided it) or are having extensive restorative treatment or dental surgery performed.

The sedation medication is administered through an IV that’s attached to your arm. While you’re under anesthesia, your pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen levels are monitored, for your safety.

IV sedation is recommended if you:
-have physical limitations that prevent you from comfortably undergoing treatment
-have a pronounced gag reflex
-need to or would like to complete extensive dental treatment in one dental visit
-are extremely afraid of the dentist and have been avoiding a visit to the dentist
-have a low threshold for pain or discomfort
-need to have dental surgery (such as wisdom teeth extraction)

With this type of sedation dentistry, someone will need to pick you up from your dental appointment, accompany you home, and remain with you for two to four hours to ensure that you’re okay.
