IV (intravenous) sedation dentistry involves administering sedative medication directly into the patient’s bloodstream, allowing for quick onset and precise control of sedation levels. Unlike oral sedation or nitrous oxide, IV sedation provides a deeper level of relaxation and is often used for complex or lengthy dental procedures. Key benefits of IV sedation include:
Rapid onset and predictable effect.
Adjustable dosage for patient comfort.
Reduced anxiety and improved patient cooperation.
Safe when properly monitored and documented.
