IV Sedation Dentistry In Phoenix, Arizona
IV sedation dentistry (also known as general anesthesia) is the best option if you’re extremely afraid of dental treatment or need to have dental surgery or complex restorative treatment completed.
Medication is given through an IV that’s attached to your arm, and in just seconds, you’re completely under. During this type of sedation dentistry, your blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen levels will be monitored throughout the procedure, and you may also be hooked to a heart monitor.
IV sedation dentistry works well if you:
- can’t typically get numb
- have extreme teeth sensitivity
- prefer to complete multi-part dental treatments in just one visit
- are undergoing oral surgery (such as a tooth extraction)
- have a severe gag reflex
- suffer from profound dental anxiety or phobia
With this type of sedation dentistry, you’ll have to ask someone to pick you up after your dental appointment and stay with you at home for two to four hours to make sure that you’re okay.
Sedation dentistry, offered by experienced dentists, is available in: Phoenix, Queen Creek, Sun Valley, Peoria, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, and Glendale, Arizona.
