What is intravenous(IV) sedation?

IV sedation is the process of injecting a sedative drug straight into your bloodstream, usually in your arm or hand. It produces a feeling of deep relaxation, with you remaining awake and aware, but reducing anxiety and discomfort significantly. Patients usually recall very little about the procedure afterwards, making it an ideal option for dental phobic individuals or those having complex procedures.

Benefits of IV Sedation

Quick Response: The sedative works in seconds, and you are able to come into a relaxed state quickly.

Increased Comfort: The IV sedative reduces your recognition of the procedure that is being performed on you, which can help with discomfort or anxiety.

Time-Saving: Being able to complete your treatment in fewer appointments, or having multiple long-term appointments time permitting which is convenient.

Improved Collaboration: Being less aware of the circumstances helps the cooperation of patients with stronger reflex, difficulty being still and patients seeking less traumatic experiences.

Controlled Safer Environment: IV sedation offers the advantage that your treatment will be performed by a trained professional dentist in Norwich while being administered by them and monitored throughout the procedure.

Who Could Benefit from IV Sedation?

IV Sedation is especially beneficial to:

Patients presenting moderate to severe dental anxiety or phobia.
Individuals undergoing complex or multiple dental procedures.
Persons with a strong gag reflex or inability to remain still.
Patients with a bad dental experience in the past.

Preparing for Your IV Sedation Appointment

Medication: Please continue with your normal medications unless otherwise advised.

Avoid Substances: You should avoid all alcohol and recreational drugs including cannabis for 48 hours before your appointment.

Escort: Bring an adult(above 18 years) escort to wait with you and take you home.
