IV sedation

Choose a pain-free injection which makes you feel like you're asleep, without actually being asleep. This means that you are unaware of what is going on around you, but can still follow the dentist's instructions. Most people have no recollection of the treatment afterwards, making it perfect for anxious or nervous patients.

What do I need to be aware of with IV sedation dentistry?

On the day of treatment you will need to bring an escort with you to your appointment who will stay with you after your appointment. Most people feel very tired after treatment so it is advisable to go home and rest. Because of the drowsiness, you must not drive or operate any machinery until the day after your intravenous sedation.
