IV Sedation

Sedation dentistry uses medication to help patients relax during dental procedures. There are different types of sedation options. IV sedation provides a moderate sedation level that can be adjusted by the dentist, nurse anesthetist or anesthesiologist during the procedure.

For patients who are anxious about a dental appointment or for patients who need help relaxing during a procedure, sedation can be a tremendous help.
