IV Sedation

Benefits of IV Sedation Dentistry

One of the main benefits of IV dental sedation is that you’re able to fully relax while you’re in the dentist’s chair. This can be a big deal for patients who have avoided seeing a dentist in the past due to a phobia. While you’ll still be awake during your procedure, you’ll feel completely at ease and less aware of your surroundings.

Likewise, IV sedation may also improve your comfort while you’re holding still for an extended period of time. For our patients with physical disabilities, this can be a total game-changer.

Aftercare Instructions

Once you’ve experienced the effects of IV dental sedation, you’ll be in no condition to drive. For this reason, you’ll need a designated driver to take you to and from your appointment at Palatka Family Dental. We recommend either a trusted family member or friend.

Since IV sedation dentistry will make you feel groggy afterward, you’ll need to return home to rest and recover. During this period, we ask that you have someone keep an eye on you for the rest of the day.

Our team will also give you thorough instructions to follow to help ensure optimal healing from whatever treatment you received at our dentist office in Palatka, FL. For example, you will receive specific aftercare instructions following dental implant surgery.
