All of us here understand that
despite the amazing advances in
modern dentistry, some patients still
feel signifi cant anxiety when faced
with dental procedures. To allay some
of those fears, we offer what’s called
Intravenous Conscious Sedation (or IV
Sedation).
With this type of sedation, we
administer medication directly into
the blood stream. Patients remain
conscious and are able to understand
and respond to requests from your
dental team. For most people, IV
Sedation induces a state of deep
relaxation and a feeling of not being
bothered by what’s going on. Members
of our dental team have been specially
trained in IV Sedation, and would be
pleased to discuss this option with you
if you feel it might make your dental
appointment more comfortable.
