Sedation

At Sweet Tooth Dental, we understand that fear or anxiety about dental visits can make it difficult to maintain your oral health. That’s why we offer IV sedation—a safe, effective option to help you relax and feel at ease during your dental procedures. Our goal is to provide stress-free, comfortable care tailored to your needs.

What Is IV Sedation?
IV sedation is a method of administering a sedative through a small vein in your arm, allowing for precise and immediate relaxation. It offers a deeper level of sedation compared to other methods, helping you feel calm and unaware of the procedure while still being conscious enough to respond to instructions.

Who Can Benefit from IV Sedation?
IV sedation is ideal for patients who:
• Experience severe dental anxiety or phobia.
• Need multiple or complex dental procedures in one visit.
• Have a low pain threshold or sensitive teeth.
• Suffer from a strong gag reflex.
• Have difficulty sitting still for extended periods.

Why Choose IV Sedation?
IV sedation offers unique benefits that make it an excellent option for overcoming dental anxiety:
• Rapid Relaxation: The effects take hold quickly, allowing you to feel calm within minutes.
• Customizable Dosage: The level of sedation can be adjusted in real-time to ensure your comfort.
• Memory-Free Experience: Most patients have little to no memory of the procedure, reducing fear of future visits.
• Safe and Monitored: Our experienced team closely monitors your vitals throughout the procedure to ensure your safety.

What to Expect During IV Sedation
1. Consultation: We’ll assess your medical history and determine if IV sedation is right for you.
2. Preparation: On the day of your appointment, we’ll administer the sedative and ensure you’re completely relaxed before beginning your procedure.
3. Procedure: While under IV sedation, you’ll remain conscious but deeply relaxed, with no awareness of time or discomfort.
4. Recovery: After your procedure, you’ll need someone to drive you home, as the sedative takes a few hours to fully wear off.

Compassionate, Stress-Free Care
At Sweet Tooth Dental, we’re committed to providing a comfortable and anxiety-free experience for every patient. With IV sedation, even the most complex treatments can be completed with ease, helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile without the stress.
