Intravenous sedation (IV) is when a sedative is injected directly into a vein, and IV sedation is extremely safe when it is supervised by a specially trained dentist.
IV sedation has four main effects:
While under IV sedation, you will feel deeply relaxed, but you will still be able to understand and respond to requests from the dentist. You will be unaware of the operation, and this form of treatment is ideal for patients who wish to avoid the noise and vibration of the drill.
After the procedure, you will need to fully recover until you are fit enough to be discharged with your escort.
