What is IV Sedation?

Conscious sedation delivered through a vein for a closely monitored visit.

IV sedation is a form of conscious sedation delivered through a vein in your arm or hand. The medication works quickly and helps patients feel relaxed throughout treatment.

Many people remember very little afterward, yet are generally able to respond to instructions from the dental team. Your dentist reviews your medical history and treatment needs before recommending it.
