What is Intravenous Sedation?
Sedation is a common and safe procedure used to reduce anxiety. The sedative drug we use will make you feel calm and relaxed and you may fall into a natural type of sleep. You will be able to communicate with the dentist throughout but you will probably not remember parts, if any of the treatment. This is not the same as having a general anaesthetic, but to many patients it feels similar.
Once treatment is complete you will be able to rest until you are ready to be taken home. Your escort will then take you home and stay with you whilst you recover.
