IV sedation involves administering anesthesia through an IV to reduce anxiety and induce a state of relaxation. Most patients feel in a dream state when the dental anesthesia is circulating through the body but remain awake; some fall asleep. This type of sedation dentistry is often necessary when patients undergo more complex procedures, such as dental implants or wisdom teeth removal. Our dentists understand that some patients have high fear or anxiety, and procedures can be overwhelming or uncomfortable, so we offer IV sedation dentistry as a convenient solution for many patients.
Dental anxiety can increase involuntary body functions such as your blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate and even impact your gastrointestinal tract. This response can result in reduced pain tolerance, increased treatment complications, slower recovery, and greater post‐treatment pain. Naturally, this can lead to avoidance of dental treatment and multiple missed routine dental appointments.
Delaying or avoiding preventive dental visits for a prolonged time can lead to considerable pain and extensive problems that require more complex and complicated treatment, including periodontitis and tooth loss. Dental anesthesia at Secure Dental is a game changer because it enables you to get the treatment you need in a calm, safe manner that doesn’t cause negative physical or emotional responses.
