What is Sleep and IV Sedation Dentistry?
Sleep/IV Sedation Dentistry uses sedatives to help patients feel relaxed and at ease during dental procedures. While you remain conscious and able to respond, the medication induces a deep state of calm, reducing stress and minimizing discomfort.
- IV Sedation: Administered through a vein, IV sedation works quickly and allows your dentist to adjust the level of sedation as needed throughout the procedure.
- Sleep Dentistry: Also known as oral conscious sedation, this involves taking a pill before your appointment to promote relaxation.
Both options are ideal for patients with dental anxiety, a sensitive gag reflex, or those undergoing complex procedures. At Clove Dental in Riverpark, we ensure every patient receives the right level of sedation for their individual needs.
