How Does IV Sedation Solve Dental Anxiety?

Dental anxiety causes many to postpone essential treatment until pain intensifies. IV sedation delivers anti-anxiety medication directly into your bloodstream, inducing deep relaxation while you remain aware.

Unlike traditional methods that may not suffice for severe phobias, IV sedation offers:

Rapid onset of effects within minutes

Precise medication titration for your needs

Continuous monitoring during treatment

The ability to complete multiple procedures in one visit

Minimal memory of the dental experience
