IV Sedation Dentist Christchurch
Intravenous (IV) sedation for dental care can help make a complex or anxiety inducing dental procedure more comfortable. It also assists anyone who is generally nervous or anxious about receiving dental treatment to relax and have a comfortable appointment. Our team have been here in Christchurch for a long time and are very experienced at providing this care.
IV sedation can be provided for all types of dental treatments including fillings, root canals, crowns, extractions, wisdom tooth removal and hygiene appointments. It is a suitable option for dentally anxious or nervous patients. It also helps individuals who don’t easily go numb from local anesthetic or who have a sensitive gag reflex.
IV sedation will make you relaxed and drowsy and most patients find they are unable to remember the appointment afterwards. However, it is important to note that IV sedation does not put you to sleep. Due to the nature of the sedative, it is important we assess any medical conditions that could render you an unsuitable candidate for IV sedation. Further, it requires someone to collect you following your procedure and look after you for the remainder of the day.
If you are interested in having IV sedation provided for your dental care, please get in touch with us, or you can also book a Dental appointment online.
