IV Sedation For Patients Questions about Mobile IV Sedation?

What is Dental IV Sedation?

Dental IV sedation is a semi-conscious state that results in reduced anxiety, pain, awareness, and recall.
IV sedative medications, such as Midazolam and Fentanyl, are administered via a "titrate to effect protocol" to create a relaxed environment during the dental treatment. Additional medications Like Propofol can be administered to induce dental sedation in some instances.

How is the Medication Administered?

The dental sedative and anaesthetic medications are typically given intravenously (IV sedation). Since the effects are so smooth and rapid via this means of administrations, our team can precisely administer and adjust the correct amounts of the medications to make you relaxed and comfortable. Also, if additional medications or adjuncts are necessary during and for the dental treatment, the IV allows easy administration of these medications.
