But other times, you\u2019re probably better off being mostly unaware of what\u2019s happening\u2014like when you\u2019re having lots of dental work completed. Why not relax, drift off and wake up with almost no memory of what occurred? That\u2019s exactly what can happen when you see a sedation dentist in Worcester. When you see a dentist or periodontist that is certified to administer IV sedation, you\u2019ll have nothing to worry about. Read on to learn more about IV sedation for dentistry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

IV Sedation in Worcester<\/h2>\n

With IV sedation, you relax and remain completely comfortable during the entire procedure. You also won\u2019t feel any discomfort or pain.<\/p>\n

Is IV Sedation Safe?<\/h2>\n

Nothing is more important that your health and safety. An anesthesiologist comes to the office to administer the correct dosage of sedative and to monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, pulse and oxygen level during treatment. The minimum amount of sedative is given to keep you comfortable, and someone is with you at all times while you are sedated.<\/p>\n

How is the IV Started?<\/h2>\n

IV sedation is delivered through your veins. A small needle is inserted into a vein on the back of your hand or along the inside of your elbow. If you\u2019re fearful of needles, a topical anesthetic can be applied to ease the needle\u2019s insertion. The sedative goes to work as soon as it begins to enter the bloodstream, so you will immediately feel at ease, sleepy and your entire body will relax.<\/p>\n

What Happens After IV Sedation?<\/h2>\n

You will be given plenty of time to rest and regain your bearings while still in the dentist\u2019s chair. When you\u2019re able, someone will help you stand and walk. You will not, however, be allowed to drive. Therefore, you must have a friend or family member waiting to take you home.<\/p>\n

Spend the remainder of the day resting, and you can return to normal activities in 24 hours.<\/p>\n

If you have any further questions about how to remain blissfully unaware during dental care, please contact a sedation dentist in Worcester.<\/a><\/p>\n
