IV conscious sedation is a safe and effective sedation treatment that many patients at our office elect to have.  IV sedation is ideal for relieving anxiety, fear, and discomfort.  Together with your Manhattan periodontist, you may decide IV sedation is the best treatment option for you based on your individual needs.

Benefits of IV conscious sedation include:

• Enhanced comfort during the dental appointment, to the point that the patient closes their eyes in a relaxed, sleep-like state, often with little or no memory of the procedure afterward.
• More high-quality dentistry can be accomplished in less time for the sedated patient.
• Ideal for patients with a strong gag reflex or who have difficulty sitting in the dental chair for long periods of time.
• IV medications can be titrated to effect throughout the procedure, allowing the doctor to continually administer small amounts in order to maintain an optimal level of relaxation for the patient.

With the option of IV sedation, you no longer have to allow fear hinder you from having the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve.  Contact our office today to determine if you are a candidate for relaxing IV sedation!
