Our dentist, Ross Green provides Conscious Intravenous (IV) sedation in the practice. This is an ideal treatment for patients with severe dental anxiety or for those undergoing lengthy treatments. It essentially allows patients to feel calm, relaxed and at ease during dental procedures through the use of IV sedation. It helps to create an insensitivity to pain without any loss of consciousness.
Conscious IV sedation is very safe and it involves a sedative medication being delivered directly into a patient’s bloodstream through an IV line.
Most people who receive conscious IV sedation feel drowsy and have little to no memory of treatment when the sedation wears off.
Please rest assured that all our dentists are all very used to dealing with anxious patients – it’s not uncommon for patients to feel nervous coming to the dentist – but this is a good option for those who are exceptionally anxious and would otherwise struggle to come along for regular visits.
