How IV sedation can help nervous patients
IV sedation is used to help patients who are unable to tolerate dental treatment due to anxiety or fear. It produces a state of deep relaxation while allowing patients to remain conscious and responsive.
Sedation does not replace good dentistry or communication. It is used as a clinical tool to allow necessary treatment to be carried out when anxiety would otherwise make this difficult or impossible.
IV sedation is discussed in detail during the clinical consultation and is used only when clinically appropriate.
