Some patients suffer from severe anxiety when it comes to dental work and even going to the dentist seems like a big chore due to the fear of pain. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Rich Higgs offers IV Sedation for all dental procedures. IV sedation involves placing a small IV into the arm and delivering a safe sedative into your system. You will slowly enter a sleep-like state, making the procedure completely comfortable. IV sedation is medically safe and is typically necessary for extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures, and more complicated dental procedures. In the case of less extensive dental procedures Dr. Higgs often recommends Nitrous Oxide. This method of sedation is shorter lasting and more cost effective , however it still helps patients to relax during the procedure.
Dr. Rich Higgs and his team’s first goal is to provide a comfortable pain-free experience during any dental work. There are a few reasons for why IV sedation might be the best option for you. You might be undergoing oral surgery or an incredibly complicated procedure and would rather be asleep for it. Likewise, we might recommend this sedative if you are unable to sit still or relax for treatment. IV sedation can take the trouble out of sitting for treatment, and you’ll find it’s easier for both our staff and yourself.
Most patients coming into our office are good candidates for IV sedation. We will review all health and medical history prior to suggesting any type of sedative. If you are unable to undergo sedation, it is important that you tell us this during your appointment. IV sedation can be used on both children and adult patients who may need it.
IV Sedation begins by having the patient lay back on one of our state of the art dental chairs. We then place a small IV into your arm and deliver a safe, effective sedative into your system. Without about 15 minutes, you will begin to enter a sleep-like state. We then perform the procedure as needed. The IV is removed from your arm and you are taken to one of our recovery rooms. You are given enough time to wake up so that you can leave the office. It is important that you have a friend or relative there who can bring you home from the appointment when needed. If you are interested in learning more about IV sedation, call our office today in Chandler AZ, and one of our helpful staff members will be happy to further assist you.
