Intravenous sedation , IV sedation

Intravenous sedation , IV sedation Intravenous or IV sedation is an important component of sleep dentistry and uses drugs that can put patients into varying stages of consciousness. It's sometimes called ‘twilight anaesthesia' or ‘conscious sedation‘. Although you are still awake and able to communicate, the sedation will make you feel quite sleepy. Crucially, it also stops you from forming new memories so once the procedure is over, you'll hardly remember it. During IV sedation, your vital signs will be monitored as it can slow down your breathing. You may be given additional oxygen if needed. With all types of conscious sedation, the sedative is used alongside standard anaesthetics which numb the mouth and make the procedure pain-free.

How does sedation dentistry work?

There are different methods used for dental sedation, each with its own purpose and strength. Your dentist will choose the most appropriate for your situation, based on certain factors such as:

Your level of dental anxiety.

The duration of the dental procedure.

The dental procedure being performed

What are the benefits of sedation dentistry?

ISedation dentistry can help you relax in the dental chair, leaving all your worries behind. Sedation dentistry also helps patients gain the motivation needed to visit the dental clinic, especially if they were previously in the habit of deliberately postponing routine check-ups.

Conscious sedation will help you cope with dental treatment and lower your anxiety. Even people who do not feel anxious about dental treatment choose to have conscious sedation for uncomfortable procedures such as extractions (having teeth removed).

Sedation dentistry, what are the risks?

Intravenous sedation and intranasal sedation can slow down your breathing. We overcome this by monitoring you carefully, so we can give you oxygen if you need it. You may have some bruising to your hand or arm after the injection, but this should heal up in a few days.

Sedation Dentistry Preparation and Aftercare

Leading up to your procedure, your dentist at Deva Dental Clinic will provide you with comprehensive preparation instructions which must be followed for patient safety. These instructions are relatively simple to follow, however we encourage you to ask as many questions as you need! For some patients, fasting and avoiding certain foods, liquids or medications may be required. During your consultation and prior to the day of your procedure, your dentist will ensure that you’re completely comfortable with, and fully understand, all preparation requirements.

Consent – asking for your consent

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
