IV Sedation or conscious sedation by IV, a patient’s anxiety is eased and discomfort associated with dental procedures is virtually eliminated. This type of conscious sedation features several benefits that other sedation methods lack. It requires extended education and training to administer, and for this reason is not practiced by the majority of dentists. The practitioners in Dr. Ueckert’s office have received the advanced training required for certification and are licensed to perform IV sedation.
Procedure
Remember that during this type of treatment the patient is fully relaxed, but capable of breathing on their own and responding to verbal commands and physical stimuli. The patient may fall asleep due to the sedation, but will never be completely unconscious.
Benefits
Another benefit is that the procedure is extremely safe. This is because sedation levels can be adjusted based on how the patient is responding. Practitioners must have advanced training in order to perform this type of sedation, creating a higher skill level in those licensed to sedate intravenously.
Advanced Training
When undergoing IV sedation, you want to be in the care of a dentist you trust. With the practitioners at Dr. Ueckert’s office, you can rest comfortably knowing you are in the good hands of skill and experience.
