IV Sedation Near You
At Jasper Avenue Dental Choice, we understand that many people feel nervous or anxious about visiting the dentist. For patients who need help relaxing during treatment, we offer IV sedation in Downtown Edmonton. With this option, you can remain comfortable and calm while our highly skilled dentists and team take care of your oral health.
What is IV Sedation?
IV sedation is a safe way to relax during a dental procedure. A small needle will be used to give medicine into your arm. Once the medicine is given to you, you won’t feel anxious anymore and maybe even sleepy. After your treatment with IV sedation, most patients won’t remember very much. You will be communicating with the dentist near you and breathing on your own. But again, you won’t feel anxious or scared.
Advantages of IV Sedation
You will receive dental care without being scared or anxious.
If you need multiple treatments done at once, IV sedation near you helps you stay comfortable for longer appointments.
This medicine wears off quickly. You will feel back to normal again within a few hours.
You won't feel pain while the dentist works in your mouth. We also use a local anaesthetic on the area we are working on.
When you're relaxed, the dentist can work more carefully and give you better treatment.
The IV Sedation Process
Step 1: Consulting
First, you will meet with our dentist to go over your medical history. We discuss your treatment history because your well-being is our priority, and we want to make sure that IV sedation is safe for you.
Step 2: On the Day of Your Appointment
On the day of your appointment, you do not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours. Bring someone who can drive you home.
Step 3: During Treatment
Once you arrive, our trained dentist in Downtown Edmonton will place a small intravenous (IV) line in your arm that is used to place the sedation medication into your body.
Step 4: While Under IV Sedation
You will feel relaxed and a little drowsy. Our dentist will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing throughout the entire appointment while we complete your dental work and while you are comfortable.
Step 5: Recovery
After you finish your treatment, you will rest in our clinic for a short period of time. Once you are able to, your driver will take you home, and it is recommended to rest for the day.
