Specific dental procedures may require a patient to be sedated for the procedure to be completed. These procedures can include teeth extraction, root canals, and more. Many dental locations, including The Denture Center now use IV sedation dentistry to achieve the sedation needed to complete specific procedures; learn more about this newer form of sedation below.
What is IV Sedation Dentistry?
This form of sedation involves running an IV into a patient’s arm to administer the medication needed to relax the patient so that the necessary procedure can be completed. When a tooth needs to be extracted, or a root canal needs to be performed, the patient can be sedated with medication to make the procedure easier for both the patient and the dentistand his or her team.
What Does the Patient Experience During This Type of Sedation?
Patients who undergo IV sedation dentistry in Monroe, LA, and elsewhere will experience a calming effect that makes them unaware of the passage of time. As a result, a procedure that takes longer will seem to be completed within a few minutes. The patient will also be so relaxed that they will feel little to no pain from the procedure; in many cases, the patient will not even know the procedure has been done because of the sedation.
